Covering the business of education and training

Sometimes the choices/options get to be a bit overwhelming.

So, what's a kid to do?

1. Talk to the guidance counselor at school. High school guidance offices should have web-based programs that help the student make comparisons.

2. College Board offers College matchmaker, Princeton Review  offers counselor-o-matic, and USNEWS offers the college finder.

3. You can pony up $120/hr for a private counselor or contact me...and I'll help you out for half that.

4. You can try an online counselor - Destination-U is an eHarmony for colleges and students.

5. The student and the parent can reach the decision together.

How did you decide on the school where you/your student is attending?

Would you mind sharing?
