Why You Should (or Shouldn’t) Go to College

A Modern Guide for Understanding Your College and Career Choices

About this book

No matter who you are or what your background might be, deciding whether or not to go to college, and which college to attend, is a complex and often stressful process. Why You Should (or Shouldn't) Go to College is written to help you become more informed and more comfortable in your decision-making so that perhaps some of the unavoidable anxiety is reduced, your questions are answered, and you can move forward confidently toward your goal…whatever it might be.

Full of easy-to-understand data and background on higher education and current economic workforce trends, this book provides an overview of the college process, including academic keywords and jargon, alternative routes, and "Student Silhouette" stories from others who have chosen a variety of paths post high school,. This book will enhance your knowledge and choices when deciding what path is right for you.

Whether you are a stressed high school student trying to decide what's next, a parent deliberating your child's future, or a non-traditional student following your own path, this has the knowledge and information needed to make deliberate and informed choices about your future education and career choices.
