For most students, the college provides the opportunity to live away from their parents and make critical decisions independently. One of these decisions is choosing where to live while pursuing studies. As a student, you have the option of staying in the campus dorms or renting an apartment outside the university. Either way, you will inevitably end up with some kind of debt.

To Stay in Dorm Or Not

The other day I was consulting my cousin. She wants to come to the United States for higher studies. I did some research for her. This post is an output of that research. There are careers, high paying ones, that don’t require you to have a college degree. Career after college

On the other side, there are careers which do need an appropriate college degree? For me, I am from an orthodox family which always have advocated for education. Even knowing that career can be had without a degree. Even when my father didn’t have enough money to send me to college, he encouraged me to do so. Luckily the college I was admitted to had govt. subsidized education system.

As for my cousin, she’s been an excellent student all throughout her school. I am sure she’ll get scholarships as well. What about you? Or your son/daughter? How are you envisioning the career search? Will you go for your desire? Or, you’ll go for a career with a high potential for earning.
