How To Best Help Your Child With College

By Franklin Skribbit


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.

One of the biggest and most harmful myths about college is that professors are really hard to get to know. This myth is completely false, and if you make an effort to ask questions, talk to your professors in their office hours, and participate actively in class, you will find that at the end of your college experience, you will have great relationships with several professors. This will make them ideal candidates for recommendation letters and advice on further education and employment.

#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.

A third myth is that you need to spend all of your time at the library in order to do well in your college education. This myth is very troublesome because in college like in everything else, balance is a key to success. If you are spending all of your time studying, you will find college to be a boring and overwhelming time in your life, whereas, if you spend all your time partying, you will find college to be a very short experience. By balancing studies with the social aspects of your life, you will be able to maximize your college experience.

As you enter this exciting time, you will be able to amplify your relationship and build a future for you and your family that will include continued support and conversation for the rest of your lives.
