Squeezing Value from College: A Professor Rants on Choice and Funding

By Fred King

The basic template for a college education is antiquated and broken. Only half of today's college graduates secure a job that requires a degree. College debt has reached a trillion dollars in the U.S. A community college professor takes you behind the curtain of higher education to give an insider's view of college policy and college choice. Learn techniques to reduce the cost of college and find the most direct line to a career with the least amount of expense and debt. Understand how school policies can be used to the student's advantage. The author explains ways that students and their families can maximize their return on investment even in an environment of escalating college costs and shrinking government support and discusses related public policy changes that could dramatically reshape higher education.
