Going back to school in your adult years is not an easy thing to do. When we begin we are full of high hopes and ambitions. The reality is that the years you will spend getting that diploma will be filled with ups and down and will not be easy. I have made it my mission to give my readers the straight scoop on what to expect and how best to prepare themselves.
I have years of experience in colleges of all sorts. I have twice attended the mega campuses of the Big 10, once when young and again after age forty. I have a degree from a mid-sized commuter campus. I have attended a for-profit career academy too. I have done long distance on-line course work as well. I know which schools are friendly to us and factor our needs into their offerings and which don't.
I also know how and why we, as fully mature adults, learn. I know what keeps us from learning and how to adjust a situation so that you will learn. What I give you in my materials is practical advice from someone who has lived through it. I know how to stretch text book dollars five times further than you would ever think possible. I have interacted with helpful professors and hostile ones too. I have made great friends with my younger student colleagues and I've also identified those that just want to sap off my wisdom. I've learned which classroom formats are likely to benefit me and which ones are a total waste of time. And, I've learned which lenders are ready to truly help me and which ones are predatory pariahs.
Finally, I've sat in a lot of classrooms but I'm not an academic who will talk over your head and tell you a mountain of background information that will put you to sleep. I know you're here to get quick answers to pressing problems and that's what my material does.
