From your research, what are the biggest competing demands students are managing today? And how do those pressures affect their ability to persist?

Yeah, the first one that we see is employment.

And students are working.

They're working extensively.

And that creates, you know, kind of this push and pull between we know that the cost of living and the cost of college is expensive.

We know that we need to work to be able to close those gaps.

But oftentimes, employment and class schedules can come into conflict.

I'm curious, taking that in mind, how much of what higher education describes as an engagement or a persistence problem is actually just a financial stability problem?
