About this ebook
Thinking about going to college? Think again… Think more… Now, think one more time. College isn't just four years of work and fun. It's four years to mold the next 40. *Eye Roll* I know I know… I sound like one of those "boomers." But, check this out… You'll wake up one day and BOOM… you'll be 50, wondering if you made the best choices about… partners, kids, work, and yes… even the college you chose.
Is a four year traditional higher education even right for you? If it is… what else should you consider? From finances to first internships… I'll walk you through success stories and failures (mostly from my own life) of students, colleagues, and mentors. This book is meant to guide you from application to graduation and beyond. It's one of many you should read as you transition into adulthood and begin a long journey of growth, failure, and fun.
This is… the beginning of your journey. It's the beginning of your path to "getting your shoes dirty." This is a book to make you rethink what you know about going to school for another four years. This is... The College Admission.
