pcvrz34g 22 / 117 Nov 17, 2009 #2perhaps goal orientation? I'm not sure if this is a stereotype, but I've realized that many students who pay themselves through college usually know what they'll become. One reason is because they don't want to waste money paying tuition when they don't even know what they want to study. On the other hand, students whose parents finance the tuition usually take their time, enjoy college/social life, and don't specifically know their major until later years.
OP GranitePanic 1 / 2 Nov 17, 2009 #3Yeah, I was thinking along those lines. I could not find the right direction or word usage. I like goal orientation, Thank You!
EF_Kevin 8 / 13,321 129 Nov 19, 2009 #4My way is to read a few articles about research findings, and then points 1, 2, and 3 will be based on whatever the articles happened to say. It makes it so easy!!!!!
