As the homeschooling mother of two teens higher education is something we are thinking and talking about a lot. We want our children to have access to whatever education they need to do well in the career path to which they are called. But not at the expense of their future.
I was 40 when my student loans were finally paid off. The final amount was significantly more than what my poorly-educated-in-fiscal-matters self co-signed on for and it caused us a lot of stress over the years. We don’t want to tie the hands of our children in that way and have been looking at all the ways we can help them achieve their career goals without debt.
That just happens to be the specialty of Shellee Howard and her company, College Ready! Whether your child need to pursue a 4-year degree followed by graduate school or wants to go the route of trade school, Shellee can help you get there without crushing debt.
I hope you find our conversation helpful and hopeful!
