August is “Higher Ed” month on The Career Change Financial Planner blog
June’s Pink Slip Lemonade theme was so much fun, I’ve decided to do theme months as a regular occurrence on the blog. Recently, the topic that keeps popping up is higher ed. Whether it’s career changers needing more education to make the shift they want or parents facing kids’ college bills in the middle of a career transition, there seems to be a lot to discuss.
So I’ve enlisted the help of Todd Weaver of Strategies for College, Inc. as our “go to” college planning expert for the month. If this name sounds familiar, it’s because he guest blogged just last week in this post about how parents can request a financial aid review from their kid’s college if their financial situation changes (e.g. pink slip.)
Watch this space this month for more from Todd and me on financial planning for career changers with “back to school” goals. As a extra bonus, Todd will be sharing his own career change story with us later this week. In the meantime, this article from Money magazine, Can you afford a career switch? How a family will pay for Dad to go back to school, has some good ideas to get you started.
