*reduce the cost of higher education,
*navigate the application process, and

The State Of College Planning
We ran across an article in USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2019/12/08/college-admissions-scandal-ivy-league-harvard-crimson-education-jamie-beaton/3919491002/) about a company started by a couple of Harvard grads, that's doing more work to get students internationally into the states And they've made a ton of money doing it. But what are their motives?
This got us thinking about what we want to talk about in this episode. Where are we, as a country, right now, with college planning, and how we approach college planning for our kids. How can we, as parents who want the best for our kids, make sure we don't get sucked into the hype of college. And how can we best understand how and why colleges and universities cost as much as they do.
College planning is something your family MUST do to ensure the best education at the best price for your student.

Should College Athletes Get Paid To Play
If the National Collegiate Athletic Association will not to allow college athletes to be paid for playing the sports, then they should at least let them make money by marketing themselves. Players don't make any money from the selling of merchandise, such as their jerseys.
Or should they?
Aaron talks with Christoper Heaney, College Liftoff's Graphic Designer, and recent graduate of The Ohio State University.
Paying college athletes is no doubt controversial, but needs to be addressed soon.
