Going to College?
1) A bachelor's degree
does not always mean higher lifetime earnings.
Who earns more?
2)
WHAT YOU STUDY DETERMINES
EARNINGS.
Science
Technology Engineering Math
3) Major in what you like because
our "Flat World" means a lot
of competition meaning more effort is needed to
be successful.
4) Minor where the job are: health, education
and STEM
lead in most projected
high-paying jobs. Studies show all careers can be
enhanced by digital knowledge.
4) Increase your
Geekability
by adding one useable software or Apps task per month
to be done with your computer and phone.
5) Improving SAT
testing
ability is not a good idea because
1) data indicates comprehensive standardized test coaching has little
effect on scores
2) anxiety they cause can be a serious problem and
3) attending a college you are not academically prepared for hinders career success.

6) Going where you are near the
top academically usually a good idea for 3 reasons.
Grants
will be higher, time will be available to enhance non-academic skills and
professors favor their best students.
7) Traditional and social networking and good mentoring are still very important to success
