We are capable of more than we think, we just need the right know-how from the right sources to grow. We've all heard success stories from individuals who have found financial freedom and happiness. But what those stories tend to gloss over is the HOW. The little details on what it took to reach that happiness. All these people had grit and determination sure, but what really allowed them to apply that tenacity was the education and help they received along the way. Education and help, it turns out, that is available to all of us.
We all face stress and challenges, especially as we graduate, but life is also full of so many opportunities. All too often though students around the world are completely unaware of these opportunities and fail to take advantage of them, missing out on what could have been a fulfilling and fun jump start to their future careers. It's not that these opportunities are hidden or exclusive, just that many have never heard of them, or heard of them but felt that they were for 'other people' due to some misconception.
Education Beyond High School will clear up any misunderstandings by showing a host of courses and programs that many others have taken to achieve their own dreams. From College to Military Careers, MOOC's to Mentoring, this book looks at the multiple choices and options available to everyone and presents quotes and inspirational words from real people who have taken these options and made their dreams come true.
