YP: Questions to Ask Your Coach

• What is the best way for me to get on-the-job training if my career doesn’t require college education? Why would a college degree help me if it isn’t required?
• How did you finance your education? What do you wish you had done differently?
• If you got a scholarship what do you recall about the application process?
• Where would you suggest I work while going to school that would understand the demands of classes or give me useful experience?
• How can I explain to my parents the cost of my education and discuss providing partial support while I go to school, such as just paying for books or lab fees?
• What goals should I set while in school that will help me when I begin my career?
