<p><span>The Roadmap to Investing in Yourself: The Real Costs of a College Education, 2nd Edition</span><span> discusses many of the economic misconceptions about earning a college degree. While it is widely believed that attending college in itself guarantees wealth, thinking of a college degree as a commodity has kept students, parents, and higher education professionals from understanding the full range of short-term and long-term costs. This book illustrates how the promotion of education merely as a commodity comes at a high price for both the individual and society. Authors Tara Jabbaar-Gyambrah and Seneca Vaught argue that the idea of ‘investment’ must shift from a short-sighted view, focusing only on economic concerns, to a broader and more holistic understanding of what college costs and what students can expect in return.</span></p>
<p><span>The Roadmap to Investing in Yourself, Second Edition</span><span> addresses concerns posed by students, parents, and advisors about the college experience, focusing on undergraduates. This book debunks many of the popular misconceptions about the costs of college, decisions in what to major in, and socioeconomic disparities of the higher education landscape.</span></p>
