SCRIPT
Kids, if you think higher education is your road to riches, think again. When I ask high school students why they want to go to college, it’s always about money and career advancement. True, your chances of landing a good job are much better with that degree in hand, but that’s four, five, maybe eight years down the road! At my college, we’re looking for students who want to grow and develop as human beings. We want young adults who know that the value of a good education is in who you become, not what you earn.
