Shopping for College: How to Get What You Really Want

In order for college students to get what they really want, they need to start pursuing their passions-and friends and family members need to support them in that pursuit. Douglas Dix, PhD, a longtime college professor, takes on the modern higher education system in this guidebook that focuses on being authentic. Instead of studying a subject that guarantees a high-paying job, he pushes a radical idea: Do what you want to do. Students that follow their curiosity wherever it leads will be better equipped to work for companies founded on ethical business principles; advance the causes of liberty and justice for all; derive lasing satisfaction from helping people in need. The words that matter the most often go unheard from high school guidance counselors or at prospective campuses.
