New Links

I've added some new links to free textbook sources and some E-book sites. The best source will always be the local library and any audio books. Just drive, listen and learn. If you are a slave to the treadmill or exercise bike, get a video from the Standard Deviants from your library, they're informative and funny. Mom's with small kids will find the little ones watching too, maybe they can "test out" sooner than you'd thought!

First Four Weeks

The site has been up for a bit less than a month and the feedback has been great, thank you. Based on the daily traffic stats it is going to continue to be busy.

Just a quick reminder to take care of the federal aid forms this month. Some state aid is dependent on this form and it has a March 1st cutoff for submission.

Assistance Programs

With the rising unemployment rates I'm sure many people will now be squeezed harder at work, if they are still working. A degree is even more important when employers are getting picky on who stays and who goes. I urge everyone to check out the programs offered by your states unemployment office. Many offer direction on resume writing and assistance for going to college. This resource is usually overlooked if you're not currently collecting unemployment but they have a veterans department and resources for small businesses too. There is a multitude of services available. This could be the foot in the door toward your educational goals. Once you're in make it "Quick".
