How to Graduate From College in 8 Years or Less
v
University of Tennessee Chattanooga graduate releases self-published book written from eight years of college experiences.
(PRWEB) January 23, 2005 -- With eight years of college, one might think a
graduate would receive a PhD, become a lawyer, or maybe a doctor.
What
about those graduates who take longer to get their first bachelor’s degree?
Class of 2003 graduate, James S. Parker, spent the first few years of his
college career making all the wrong decisions. Unlike many students who give up
and drop out, James chose to change his habits and became successful in college.
Through his years of college life he started writing down his lessons learned.
Now, he has shared those revelations in his self-published book entitled “My
College Tips.”
“My College Tips” is a great gift idea for graduating high
school seniors and new college students. With 50 different topics and over 450
actual tips, there is no aspect of college that gets left out. The book’s
accompanying website allows students to use additional resources and to connect
to other sources of information that aid in the confusing world of
college.
What makes Mr. Parker so special? Nothing; he was an average
high school student that attended five different colleges, changed his major
numerous times, and finally found a way to get his bachelor’s degree. Mr. Parker
is not the only one to take the hard path to get a college degree. The average
amount of time for a student to receive a bachelor’s degree is 5.2
years.
With college tuition increasing each year, the need for guidance
and help is critical to minimizing cost and time spent on a college education.
Dr. Kittrell Rushing, Professor at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga,
reviewed the book saying, “Parker’s guide for new college students provides
realistic answers to many of the challenges that confront freshmen.” Mr. Parker
states, “My goal in writing this book is for a student to learn a few things
that will benefit their college experience.”
