STONINGTON, MAINE -- 08/15/2014 -- Lobster lay in a crate at the Stonington Lobster Co-op dock after Lance Bradshaw dropped off his take for the day. Bradshaw recently dropped out of the University of Maine during his first year with hopes of becoming an engineer. Bradshaw says he left because of the cost of school and feeling like he didn't fit in. Instead he makes his living as a lobsterman in Stonington. Administrators at the University of Maine say they are struggling to retain students. Brian Feulner| BDN
