Saving on College Costs

Traditional college is a huge investment.

It is very important that students maximize the opportunity or they could end up overpaying for something that doesn't accomplish what they need it to do.

Here, two of Kathy's students, Jillian and Courtney, share their tips about making sure they get a good value from their college investment and ways they reduced the costs.

(Please note: we had to film Jillian's quickly before she headed to college. Hers are better viewed on a smaller screen. Thanks for your tolerance of our imperfections and differences.)

Courtney talks about some early steps that made a difference.

Jillian talks about how she fixed her math skills before college.

People who are serious about making sure they use their education dollars wisely should probably do some homework about what they want and how to acquire it.

Please remember that no person or organization can be all things to all people.

Everyone is different. It is up to parents and teens to decide what they learn.

Learning the right skills and knowledge can make for a great life and an awesome career.
