The Booming Business of College with Mr. Shoemaker

-

College, the thought that lurks in the back of every high school student’s mind. Questions like “What will I study?”and “Where will I go?” swarm around in the heads of teenagers across the nation, but possibly the most daunting question is “How will I pay for it?” It will come as a surprise to no one when I say that getting a higher education just simply isn’t the same now as it was decades ago. Listen in as I talk with Mr. Shoemaker about the rise in prices and competition among colleges and how it affects students like you.
