There must be some tough parts if after investing the time and money into a degree, half decide to do something else with their lives within five years.

That statistic is only meaningful if you compare it against other professions. Maybe the retention rate for teachers is higher than for other jobs. Maybe it's lower - you haven't given us enough to discuss.
Also, is your 50% number even true? Do you have back-up for it? Intuitively, that seems very high so I am skeptical of it.
