The cost of a college education has gotten out of hand which is why parents and students need the all the help we can get to make sure our children are not left out of shrinking job and entrepreneur opportunities. For many, financial aid is going to be the great divide and deadlines are looming for […]

It’s too late to beat people up about any of that stuff at this point, so I don’t and I won’t.
