Episode 3: Even College Financing Pros Find Paying for College Challenging
from The Higher Ed Shift
In this week's episode of The Higher Ed Shift, we gear up for back-to-school season. Amy interviews Carlo about his recent experiences helping his daughter select the right school for her while also navigating the financing process. Even as an economist who has spent his career specializing in this area, Carlo was shocked by the complexity of the system and highlights his perspective on what this must be like for parents and children with little-to-no background or experience. Topics include Carlo's family background to set the stage for the experience he shares, what was most important to his daughter in the early college selection process, how cost and affordability were brought into the discussion with his daughter, and their experiences working with different schools through this process. Tune in as Carlo provides a true and honest look at what it's like being on the other side of the table - navigating the funding journey as a parent.Connect With UsEmail us to join as a guest: [email protected] with Amy on Twitter: @amyglynn15Connect with Carlo on Twitter: @EDAnalyst
