Description:
David Dalton has written a common sense, how-to book for parents about to send their kids off to college. This is not a book about how to select a major, pay for college, which is the best university, etc. These important topics are well covered in many other places. Instead, David describes the problems with the traditional approach to college and career, and provides realistic solutions to solve them. The book helps parents and students develop realistic expectations about what can and should be gained from the college experience. Mr Dalton discusses how to achieve success in college, but more importantly, dives into how to achieve the more important goals of career success, developing critical life skills, encouraging adult behavior development, transferring responsibility to your adult children, and many other important life lessons. The book is an easy read, filled with current, relevant examples of families who have succeeded and failed. This is a must read for those about to embark on this very important, very expensive journey. Make the investment, you won't regret it!
