By Becky Yerak | A growing number of college-bound teenagers are changing their plans for
higher education by working more, staying closer to home, opting for a
community college or delaying enrolling, a new study shows.
According to a newly released joint study by Junior Achievement and the
Allstate Foundation, 63 percent of teens surveyed said they’ve changed
their college plans because of the economy, up from 55 percent last
year.
