As Your College Planning Coach, I specialize in helping busy working families who don't have the time to research all of the steps needed in today's complex, ever-changing and time-consuming process of sending your child to college without breaking the bank. The college landscape had changed immensely from when you went to college. Gone are the days where good students were showered with scholarships, and you could work a summer job to manage the rest of the cost. A college education has become the 2nd most expensive major purchase decision for a family today. It would be best if you went into this purchase decision with a solid plan for success.I use a 2 step approach to this college planning "puzzle" to help your child graduate in 4 years with a degree that starts them with a career they will flourish in. If you miss a piece of the puzzle, it doesn't mean your child won't go to college, but at what cost? My system will help your child implement a well thought out strategic plan of finding a growing career path they will flourish in, find the college major to support that field, find the colleges that support the major but also want your student enough to award substantial merit scholarships, no matter what your income level. Step 2 is working with parents to implement strategic savings and paying for college without jeopardizing your lifetime or retirement savings. I teach you to remove the emotion and look at college as what it has truly become, a business decision and a major life purchase.
