The FIRST College Guide You Should Read!
 
College Is For Suckers is a no-bullsh*t guide to higher education.

It's the perfect answer for today's frustrated students who contemplate the real value of a four-year college degree and are considering alternatives. Written by a former college recruiter, this book offers insightful and sometimes shocking realities of the business of higher education. By stripping down the hype behind college ratings and clever marketing, April shows you what you can realistically expect from a four-year college degree --and why it's not always the best choice.

THE GREATEST FEATURES OF COLLEGE IS FOR SUCKERS:

  • Shatters myths about the need for a traditional liberal arts education

  • Compares the “hype” with the actual value of a four-year degree in today's market.

  • Offers creative alternatives for achieving a marketable education
