There are three things to think about when assessing the decisions that center on choosing the right college path:

Be realistic – If you’re career path is low-paying, don’t take out large loans. While education is an investment, you want to be certain that you’ll be able to pay them off.

Think about affordability – An Ivy League education may be trumped by the price tag.

Do your homework – Look for scholarships, grants, and contests that you can apply for, it may make the difference between your dream school and community college.
