Abstract: Almost all the contributions on human capital and migration have focused on individuals who recently completed a tertiary education degree. Not much has been done with regard to high-school leavers. However, studying the migration of high-school leavers (college-bound individuals) is at least as important as studying college graduates migration. We present an analysis of college-bound individuals migration patterns for the USA. We argue that understanding the main determinants of these migration patterns is fundamental for policy makers in their quest for human capital retention.
