Don't dig a student hole your career can't fill. College tuition has risen at 5 times the rate of average prices in America over the last 35 years, and student loan debt has risen at a corresponding rate that financially restricts current graduates from the normal pursuits in life - homes, families, lifestyles and the independence and options provided from establishing careers. This book navigates the systemic headwinds inherent in post-secondary education and from the changes in society, and provides the platform and tools to understand ROEd (return on education) and develop goals and make the decisions that determine Your Path Ahead.
An easy read because of the charts and pictures. Highly recommended for any 16 and 17 year old as they ponder their future for education and work. Students need to understand the debt they are getting into before it's too deep - as the author says.
