Help with an essay question

I have to write a short essay on the US school system, but I need help with this sentence:
"En los Estados Unidos, es una ley una persona continua la educación hasta que tiene diez y seis años. Sin embargo, yo pienso que es un problema grande que estudiantes piensan que este es bastante y que ellos van a vivir una vida exitosa sin más educación."

I am trying to say something along the lines of "In the US, it is a law that people continue their education until they are 16. However, I think it is a big problem that students think that this is enough and that that they will live a successful life without more of an education"

That actually sounds a bit awkward even in English. Could anyone help me with a better way of saying this or just correct what I wrote?
gracias!
