Educating Your Child Abroad Lesson 69

There are a lot of students that ask themselves, is college right for me? Some students and families are concerned about student loans, acquiring scholarships, traditional methods of education and career in-roads. It's important to know there are a lot of other ways to get into your career of choice and to create multiple streams of income using your innate talents and self-learned concepts.

As homeschoolers, we are well versed in taking less traditional routes. We're exploring ways we can raise our young people to be successful, however they define it, self-sufficient and self-aware adults through both conventional and unconventional methods.
