SAH doesn't support change,

"SAH doesn't support change, it supports going backwards to the 1950's,"
Statement in a post below.
I wholeheartedly disagree. To me, SAH is a choice. How is that going back to the 1950s, when a lot of women didn't have much of a choice.

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
Well, they were 20, married, in the Army when the stick turned pink (and my friend kept asking his medic buddy to "do the test again").
But it seemed to work well for them.
That's interesting. I thought the same thing about your link above - it doesn't tell the whole story and is misleading.
Anyway. My link from the US Census Bureau was 100% apposite and not misleading. I provided the percentages of those in the US with bachelor degrees. "Some college" may be acceptable in your field of employment. But it doesn't cut it with me, nor did it have anything to do with the topic under debate. Relevant employers are not impressed with someone who said she had "some college." I mean, why bother demonstrating failure to follow thru? Better to keep silent about it if someone had no intention of completing what one started and dropped.
Your link is misleading because it includes within the "time to complete a bachelor's degree", the time one takes off after high school graduation. In other words, the time after high school graduation until one enrolls in college was included within the time to complete a bachelor's degree. It also includes students who "stop out for 6 months or less" without including the low percentage of students who do that. Thus, your link is misleading.
This link is reliable and states what I have always thought - most people finish college within 4 years:
