   1. Episode 11:Finding Success with Dual Enrollment

   Dual enrollment is available to every student in the United States, but finding success with dual enrollment begins with learning your options. Dual enrollment is frequently free or reduced for high school students, so every class they can take before high school graduation is one less class you'll pay full price for later.

   5. Episode 7: Paying for Trade School

   The cool thing about trade school (vocational school, career school, etc) is that the programs are tied tightly to employment- these programs help prepare you to get a job immediately.  The challenge with these programs is the cost. Sometimes they are more expensive per contact unit than a degree in liberal arts, and when the school is unaccredited or a for-profit business, it's hard to get wise financial aid help. In this episode, we'll show you how to pay for trade school (accredited or not) w

   6. Episode 6: Getting a Degree vs ”Going” to College

   Three questions everyone should ask before going to college, and how to look past the "all-expense-paid-vacation" marketing colleges are pitching. Ask an 18-year-old about their future education, and then ask a 38-year-old about their future education. What you’ll notice time and time again, is that the 18-year-old talks about where they're going to college while the 38-year-old tells you what they’re doing. Whether it's a degree, a license, or a certification, adults tend to focus on the creden

   9. Episode 3: Testing Out with CLEP

   It’s 2005-2006, and I’m reading about a concept I'd never heard of called "testing out." The interesting part is that I'd been teaching and advising in the community college district for 13 years by then, so I was sure it wasn't legit.  Except that it was.  6 months later I had tested out of over 20 college classes, and today I’m going to tell you you can do it too.Colleges are not motivated to help you test out of their classes or save money! Resources / LinksModernStates.orgCollegeBoard.orgREA
