"For me, the value of the investment wasn’t an issue. I knew I wanted to go to college. But the price tag was: My family couldn’t afford to help me pay for it, and I was terrified of taking out loans after watching my parents stress about finances while my mom pursued her education and career later in life. So I found another way to get a college degree." -Kara Prado Read Kara's story on our blog: https://lnkd.in/gGXyP3nC

Imagine if you could take the money you were gonna spend on a year of #college and instead spent it on an entire master's degree, moved into your career field early, or took a gap year to travel. College and career coach, Clifford Stumme, PhD of College Hacked explains how students can do this by taking StraighterLine courses.
