A young adult barely knows what to do on a Friday night so how do we expect them to know what to do with the rest of their life by the time they set foot on a college campus? College should be a safe place to learn from experience, good and bad, but that’s not the message that students are getting.
Jeff Ederer, co-founder of College Route Map, started his journey in higher education by being the first generation college student in his family. At first Jeff didn’t feel cut out for college but once he ended up staying for 41 years, working at public and private institutions. In Jeff’s time in higher education, both personally and professionally, he saw a huge need for college planning assistance and decided to create College Route Map, an educational consulting firm that provides services to clients and families.
On this episode of Success is Subjective, Jeff joins Joanna to share his journey going from not interested in college, to working in the industry for 41 years. Jeff’s mission is to help families and students find a great college fit for their ongoing success. Listen in for insight on Jeff’s perspective on college and how it has tremendously helped his clients in their journey.
