This week, I cover 5 things your college student can do to ensure their success in the real world - even if they graduate with a mediocre GPA.

  1. Choose their major wisely
  2. Befriend upperclassmen
  3. Make every summer count
  4. Network
  5. Study abroad

If your child does these 5 things, they will have maximized their time in college. They will be less reliant on their GPA and more reliant on relationships.
