Doing College Your Way

How to Find the Right College

Another tool I've added is a link to a very helpful Career Assessment Test. If you're not sure what you want to be when you grow up, or if you're thinking of changing careers after you've worked a few years, it's a good idea to take a free assessment test. There are more detailed tests that you can pay for, but often, the basic free test will give you an idea of your aptitudes and interests. It's very helpful to see all the career suggestions presented at the end of the test!

The final tool that I've added is a link to a scholarship search (see the FastWeb button at left). If you are even thinking about going to college, go right now to the scholarship search page and fill out the profile. You can start reading about the scholarships available to you. I think you'll be amazed at how many there are! If you need any encouragement to believe that college is possible, this may be exactly what you need. Scholarships are available for just about anyone in the world-- you just need to find them (both by using the scholarship search and by asking at the financial aid office of your college), and take the time to apply. Do it!

Colleges That Welcome Non-Traditional Students

How to Earn a College Degree Faster, Easier, and CheaperI had compiled an incomplete list of colleges that welcome non-traditional students, including homeschoolers and adult students. Some offer degrees totally online, while others have traditional programs as well. As I have mentioned in other places on this site, the number of college students who are older or younger than the traditional age has increased so dramatically that more and more colleges are sitting up and taking notice. I firmly believe that there is a college for everyone who wants to earn a degree. It's just a matter of finding the one that fits you.

Since the link list was getting too long, I added links to a college search site. You can see it in the banner below. I will add colleges back in as I come across schools that seem particularly interesting. Be sure to research the entrance requirements for a wide variety of schools so that you can tailor your high school experience to fit your favorite college's requirements. The more facts you gather about your options, the better will be your chances of choosing the college that is right for you.

Here are a few colleges I've heard good things about. If there are others you feel should be included, feel free to e-mail me.

You will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did.
