5 Kids and College

by Jacqueline West

Not only am I a Mother of a college kid, I am also a Student. This podcast is all about my experience as a student and what I have uncovered navigating the halls of higher education on my way to medical school. A sort of expose’, about what life is really like behind college walls and how to help you help your child navigate it all. Not only am I willing to be your eyes and ears, but more importantly, I want to be able to be a guide to help you as a parent escape the money traps college can set for you and your child and how to avoid them based on my series of fortunate & unfortunate events.
