Description

All New for 2025!

Many adults have trouble answering the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up."  So, one can only imagine the difficulty young people have with the question.

Is college for me? Is it worth the price? Are there alternatives to college?

This program is designed to help young people figure out those options. 

We do this first by discussing the pros and cons of going to college, and then discussing Trade Schools and other options, such as "gap years."

Time permitting, we issue some self-assessments, which the teens may complete at the library or simply take home.

I designed this program to be the session I wish someone had shown me before I went to college. I hope it will help young people and their parents.

If the location is >= 50 miles from my home town, I will add $20 to cover round-trip gas expense.
