Chipping Away at the Roadblocks to Continuing Education

Many students just don't know how to break through the roadblocks, because they are overwhelmed by the many choices. That's why I created the poll about roadblocks. It's a big issue, and one I plan to talk about often.

One thing that really hurts is that some students fall into a money trap--they enroll in an unaccredited and expensive "school" that offers easy acceptance, just to rope in unsuspecting students. Some people get burned, when they build up a big dept and realize they can't transfer credits to another institution. They often abandon their goals because they start down the wrong road and become frustrated.
