Second (or third) chances are the not talked about benefit to an education system that requires a buy in. If you can pay, then you can go to school. Much of the rest of the developed world doesn't work this way. I have an advanced degree and a cool career that I love, but I failed high school. I only received a diploma because of a combination of good luck, social promotion and a couple extra courses. Community college is a beautiful safety net for people like me.
