Book excerpt: Book DescriptionThis second edition contains many updates from the original and provides tools for students as working adults as well as those transitioning from high school to college.As of this writing there about 3000 Amazon e-books on "College Success." No wonder it becomes confusing to sort out what is right for you (and your parents if you are transitioning from high school) to use as a guide, and what is not.Most of these e-books on college success focus on basic "how-tos." And "how-tos" are definitely needed. However, it can be daunting to students when they consider how to go about succeeding in college. Focusing first on a strong motivator helps. Then the routines to achieve the end goal will be exhilarating, not enervating. One of our biggest motivators is money. Income to sustain a reasonable life style.Whether this is your first exposure to college preparation, or whether you are considering college to improve career opportunities or to change careers, learning how to succeed in college and beyond can be one of the most profitable learning experiences you will ever participate in, IF you do it right.I would suggest that we consider college as a business investment, rather than a very costly life expense. Consider for a moment that you had between $100,000 and $200,000 to invest in a major business venture. For illustrative purposes the comparison will be between completing a high school degree and a completing a master's degree. The earnings ratio is roughly 2:1. Of course this will vary depending on when you complete your degree program.So, while planning for college, consider the lifetime wage investment as a motivator, instead of the cost center mind set of expenses. At the same time using the business mind set, reduces the likelihood of emotional decisions, and focuses more on logical decisions supported by sound business planning. My grandfather used to say "separate your vocation from your avocation." Your primary source of income from your passion to learn about something that will likely not yield sustainable income opportunities.So your best first step in your college (job) preparation is sufficient research to thoroughly study the subject of college preparation as an investment. Doing so will involve creating a personalized, detailed plan of success to yield a high return on investment.When it comes to college decisions there are many important factors that need consideration including answering such questions as: - Am I prepared for the teaching differences between high school and college?- If I am considering college as a working adult, what are my goals and how do I achieve them?- In which college can I best succeed?- How much will it cost?- What will be my debt when I complete my degree?- How rapidly can I pay of my college debt?Succeeding in college is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Preparation is one key. Persistence is the other. Learn how to accomplish both for career success through this book..
