Colleges Behind Closed Doors: It's Your Money And They Want It (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781677270446)

Nothing seems to have changed. Professor Roberts is aghast at the fact that, in ten years since he first wrote the book, the higher education system has remained stagnant. He has therefore updated facts and figures and presents a book that is still informative and a necessary tool for any graduating high school student or his or her parents. What really is going on in the university and what should you know about it? Does it matter which college you attend? Do you know what a top-tier university is and how to identify one? Do you have a strategy in place to make your college decision? Is college right for you? Will you get your money's worth? Should you go full-time or part-time? Can you expect to get a job and have a career after you graduate?Call him an insider. Call him a whistle-blower. Either way, Professor Roberts is one of a small number of people who can give unbiased answers to all of these questions. As an executive in the financial services industry and as an assistant professor of economics, he has instructed, managed, hired, and mentored thousands of college graduates. He has interviewed hundreds of students in preparation for this book. What he has found in these discussions and observations will stun even the most perceptive of students, parents, and interested spectators. The situation in our colleges is critical. Most of the students who attend college in America today are receiving little return on their money and time spent. And Professor Roberts will reveal the results of this tragic situation. His book provides the illumination that is so necessary for those who believe that a college education is in their future. He urges all students and their parents to consider this huge investment and understand the implications of their decision before jumping in.Finally, this book will offer to parents and students a strategy for selecting a school. It will be a strategy that will help you maintain control over the decision making process, and allow you to make a logical decision even in the face of what the professor calls the "college frenzy."Before making your college decision you must start with this compelling book, and each and every person who has any interest in higher education must heed its message.
