Hello Steemians!
Last week, I did a post talking all about my experience with Higher Education and whether I regretted going back to school to get a bachelor’s degree or not. That post ended up having a TON of great discussion in the comments as many of you shared your experience with the topic of higher education as well.
In that post, I briefly mentioned that I was able to get through school completely DEBT FREE. There were quite a few people asking about this in the comments, and so I decided to do a post talking a bit more about how I was able to do this.
There were several factors that contributed to my success, but there was ONE thing that really made all the difference. It is a topic that I don’t think is discussed nearly enough when people are considering going back to school.
Drumroll please…
School Selection
I was able to save several years of schooling and probably 50 thousand dollars by being smart about where I decided to go to school. Please watch this Dtube vlog to hear more of my story and a few tips on how to find schools that will better fit in your budget.
Question for readers/listeners:
Was school selection part of the thought process for you when making decisions about higher education? Did you look at schools simply based on merits and programs, or were cost comparisons part of your decision making process?
Please feel free to pass this video on to anyone who is graduating from high school and considering college, or someone who is considering going back to school. Being able to get through school debt free is so liberating and I hope to encourage more people to do the same.
Xo, Lea
