As a result, students and their parents are  willing to go into years of debt and potentially sabotage their entire  financial futures just to get a fancy name on their diploma. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Zac Bissonnette is walking proof that this assumption is not only  false, but dangerous-a class con game designed to rip you off and doom  your student to a post-graduation life of near poverty . From his unique  double perspective-he's a personal finance expert (at Daily Finance)  AND a current senior at the University of Massachusetts-Zac figured out  how to get an outstanding education at a public college, without  bankrupting his parents or taking on massive loans. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArmed with  his personal knowledge, the latest data, and smart analysis, Zac takes  on the sacred cows of the higher education establishment. He reveals why  a lot of the conventional wisdom about choosing and financing college  is not only wrong but hazardous to you and your child's financial  future. You'll discover, for instance, that: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Student loans  are NOT a necessary evil. Ordinary middle class families can- and \u003ci\u003emust\u003c\/i\u003e-find  ways to avoid them, even without scholarships. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* College  \"rankings\" are useless-designed to sell magazines and generate hype. If  you trust one of the major guides when picking a college, you face a  potential financial disaster. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* The elite graduate programs  accept lots of people with non-elite bachelors degrees. So do America's  most selective employers. The name on a diploma ultimately won't help  your child have a more successful career or earn more money. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZac can prove every one of those bold assertions - and more. No matter  what your current financial situation, he has a simple message for  parents: \"RELAX! Your kid will be able to get a champagne education on a  beer budget!\"","brand":"Portfolio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43381609693439,"sku":"9781591842989","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781591842989_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307400","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781591842989","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
