College doesn't always seem to be the sure bet toward a better life that it used to be. More and more young people are beginning to view college as an investment in their future instead of an opportunity to party.
And this is a good thing. The best way to get a good return on your investment is to be more personally invested in your college experience. You really need to dig in and work hard with a keen eye toward the future. To be an innovator in business, it helps to get some good practice by being an innovator in your own education.
It is important to remember that college can be a stressful situation, so give your child opportunities to combat that stress. Whether this is through encouraging them to incorporate some activities they love into their schedule every week, or simply reminding them that they are loved, stress management is a great way for you to help your child.
#2: Going to college is worth the investment when you gain experience while still at school. Internships help you gain real-world experience at the same time that you are in school. You can get college credit from an internship, and guess what, you can put it on your resume too. A college degree by itself isn't good at finding you a job. It's when you combine it with experience that your degree gains in power.
#3: Going to college is worth the investment when you develop relationships with teachers and fellow students. You'll need these relationships when you transition from college to the workforce, and not just for moral support. A teacher can be a great reference on a job application, and your network of friends at college can transition into your network of professionals. It's hard to connect with an instructor when it's an online course, or when there's 400 other students taking that class. It's much better to find smaller, more intimate classes where you'll have plenty of opportunities for your professor to get to know you individually.
#4: Going to college is worth the investment when you customize your education. The ultimate goal is to be in control of your career path, so it's important that you are in control of your educational path as well. Don't just find a tract and follow it to the letter, forge your own way. The best way to tailor your education to your specific goals is to get with an adviser from the beginning. Create a game plan, and think creatively about class schedules, clubs, and every aspect of your college experience. When choosing a college to attend, it's important to find one that is as invested in your education as you are. They need to offer you all the specific skills you need and provide plenty of internship opportunities. They should have accessible faculty who are engaged in their students' learning. Most of all your college needs to help you customize your own specific education program.
