Kids think about college way too late (11th grade). Private counselors cost way too much. ($200-1500 per hour) School counselors are stretched way too thin (500:1 ratio). Our knowledge economy requires a degree to succeed. Yet, 17,000 high schools DO NOT have a dedicated college counselor! That’s ⅔ of all public schools! That’s insane.
