Welcome to the Road to College 2008
By: North County Times | ∞
The path to higher education and training can be confusing and full of pitfalls for students and the adults who want to help them. While it doesn't show every detail necessary for preparation, this "road map" can serve as a guide to help you navigate through the many options available.Today's section has been designed as a "pull-away" page, easy for students to save and to consult for information and reminders as they progress along the path.
Why bother going to college? The reasons are numerous, but first among them is your future earning power. You will earn a lot more money during the course of your life if you have a college education.
The second reason, and perhaps even more important, is for your future self. It's sometimes said that high school teaches you how to learn, and college is where you do learn. You will encounter "more things ... Than are dreamt of in your philosophy" ---- in other words, you'll be exposed to ideas and concepts that you've never imagined before (like that quote from "Hamlet"). And some of those ideas will change your life.
It's an exciting prospect, and one we're happy to point you toward with this guide. The rest is up to you.
