Hi Betty Sue Thanks for the clarification of the survivor job. Sounds like a part time student job to meet daily expenses. Interesting situation about students who drop out because the job turns out to be great. In some studies about retention I have seen the definition of retention and completion questioned. Is it about staying in school until the student graduates and gets a degree? Or is it about getting the training desired and completing when ready - which might be when getting a job and not the degree. Since schools are forced to count grads and placements for their regulatory bodies, there is no category for completion according to the student's needs. Interesting dilemma. Susan
