Hacking College By: Dr. Dean Kohrs-
I wish I had known that when I was in college!” Sadly, it’s an all too common phrase among college graduates. There’s a big difference between college graduates, who often end up working the same Mcjobs after graduation they had as students, and those who have used college as a launching platform which prepares them to survive and thrive in the 21st century. How do you learn this neat little hack? By listening to those who already have. Hacking College will teach you how college works. More importantly, it will teach you how to make college work for you! Among the valuable and often surprising lessons Hacking College offers: College is a portal to the world–use it as one! Why you are a start-up company. What you need to master in college to thrive in the globalized world. Why all schools are not the same and why a “good school” might be a bad choice for you. How you can get into and afford almost any school if you plan ahead. How to navigate Finance and financial aid in the 21st century. What to do when the system fails you and how to prevent it from happening. How your social network can be more valuable than your degree. There is a digital divide, and you don’t want to be on the wrong side. The easiest route to the most valuable degree.
