I asked my paramedic instructor on Monday what the attrition rate for the course was. I wanted to know how many of the shiny faces sitting in the chairs statistically would be collecting the parchment. He did not give me a percentage, but said "lately, we've been losing a lot for personal reasons".
Today, a student dropped out. This woman has 4 kids, a deadbeat ex (divorced less than a year) and a full time job. I'm not surprised that she has bailed but I'm a little upset about it. 3 days into the course and we've lost one. I spent 1 1/2 years on the wait list and I hope they can put someone in the spot.
Does anyone know what the stats are ? How many people do this ?
