An unbiased, accurate, and up-to-date guide to making college-related decisions
Should I go to college? Which college should I go to? When should I go? What should I study? How should I pay for college? Should I work while I'm attending?
In The Truth About College: The essential guide to help your teenagers succeed - so college doesn't ruin their lives, #1 New York Times bestselling author, Ric Edelman, delivers an unbiased and eye-opening guide for parents who want to help their children answer their college questions and for the teenagers doing their best to make the 'right' choice.
This is not an anti-college screed or a full-throated endorsement of college for everyone. It's a deeply researched decision-making guide that carefully considers the unique characteristics, considerations, and circumstances that will influence college-related decisions. The book recognizes that college is not a subject that should be considered through an ideological lens. It shouldn't be one characterized by snap decisions or decisions made based on what peers or parents did or didn't do. Instead, you'll learn all about the real-world benefits and costs of attending college today. You'll discover the doors it unlocks, the doors it closes, the most common mistakes made by college students, and how to minimize the downsides and cost if you or your child decide to attend.
Inside the book:
- A comprehensive and accurate exploration of the specific information that you and your child need to make the most beneficial decisions possible
- Concise summaries at the end of each chapter for easy review, as well as a standalone, step-by-step guide to talking with your teenagers about college
- Clear-eyed, unbiased advice from an experienced finance professional based on contemporary evidence and data about college and the college experience
Perfect for all teenagers preparing to go (or not go) to college and their parents, The Truth About College is packed with the information you need to make smart decisions that will be beneficial over the long-term.
