LITTLETON, Colo., April 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- College advisors
Lindy and Tom L. Schneider say
Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman risked their fortune and
freedom because they believed a lie about college.
"If Lori Loughlin and Felicity
Huffman knew anything about how to help their kids succeed
in life they would never have become involved in a college bribery
scandal to get their children into an elite school." So says
Lindy Schneider, co-author with
Tom Schneider of the new book:
College Secrets of Highly Successful People: Keys to Launching a
Great Life (Peaks Publishing Inc.)
The Schneiders say that the celebrities bought into the lie that
says going to an elite college will make all the difference for
career and future success. "What's worse is that many parents who
are watching the college admissions scandals unfold are convinced
that the lie must be true. We talk to parents and students
dispelling the most common lies about college that most people
believe."
Having advised thousands of college students they reveal the
truth. "Where one goes to college is not as important as what one
does while in college. In fact, many highly successful people,
CEOs, celebrities, and entrepreneurs did not go to Ivy League
schools, but they were intentional about making quality connections
while they were students."
One famous example is Steven
Spielberg, who is arguably the most accomplished film
director in the world. He did not get into his first choice for
college which was an elite film school. Though disappointed,
Spielberg instead enrolled at Cal State in
Long Beach. He took advantage of an internship they offered
at Universal Studios. Doing well in that internship was the key,
not the name of the college that opened the doors to his stellar
career.
Some of the other college lies that many people believe:
- Lie: College is a four-year commitment. Truth: 60 percent of
college graduates are taking six years to complete their degree!
However, there are ways to finish in three-and-a-half years.
- Lie: College social events are just a distraction: Truth: Many
successful people met their future business partners while enjoying
the social opportunities on campus.
The Schneiders' new book reveals the key strategies for
after-college success that begins on the day a student enrolls.
College Secrets of Highly Successful People: Keys to Launching a
Great Life is available at bookstores everywhere and on
Amazon.
