Publisher's Synopsis
Colleges and universities can be valuable to you. They can help you find employment that is either financially lucrative or interesting. Colleges can help you establish peer relationships that lead to job contacts in the future. They can teach confidence and flexibility. The problems with colleges and universities are: 1) They charge so much money that they can cripple your future when you can learn the same material on your own. 2) They function for their own benefit instead of yours, and 3) they give you a degree that you may never be able to use. When deciding whether to enroll in college (or to remain in school), it is important to understand the school's methods, values, and goals if you hope to thrive and prosper. Yet, no one is likely to tell you some of the things that are most useful to know. This book will teach you important truths about college that you may find nowhere else. It will also give you practical skills that will help you become more successful in college.
