College Planners – Worth Your Investment? by Mark Maiewski
Have you ever just HAD to have a bowl of hot, fresh-from-the-microwave
popcorn? You tear open that crinkly cover, unfold the package, carefully
place it in the center of the microwave and push the magic buttons. Through
the appliance humming you start to hear the “pop, pop” and then smell
that amazing scent. Your mouth begins to water as you open the bag and pour
the salty treat into a bowl. Then you take that bowl and you settle into a
favorite spot for a movie, a ball game, or maybe a book.
In the midst of that happy place you bite into the most bitter, nasty tasting
piece of popcorn ever found. Apparently a few kernels burned. Now that bowl
of popcorn is no longer very appealing. Even though most of the popcorn
appears to be delicious, you still dump the whole bowl in the trash just to
avoid another one of those nasty, bitter bites.
To make matters worse, the next time you hear that crinkly wrapper being
opened and the microwave humming, you can taste that bitter popcorn again. To
save that unsuspecting popcorn eater from your horrible experience, you warn
them that popcorn is bitter and nasty, it burns too easily. Don’t take the
chance. Just avoid microwave popcorn.
This scenario is one that legitimate college planning professionals meet
every day. No, we don’t give out burned popcorn, but the nasty, bitter
experiences generated by the few immoral and unethical companies have been
liberally laid on every college planning company, deserved or not.
Suddenly all those planners that truly want to help families negotiate all
the difficulties and confusion of attending and paying for college are
restricted from reaching out to communities. The “just avoid” message
sounds loud and clear.
Government, teachers, and guidance departments consistently send the message
that information concerning college admissions, standardized testing, and
financial planning is free and families should NOT have to pay for this
support. Anyone that wants money to help you negotiate the college
admissions and funding maze is a fraud, a cheat, as bitter as a piece of
burned microwave popcorn.
That sick feeling in your stomach when your student mentions money for
college or asks specific “how do I…” questions can be solved using the
free resources.
But the websites, the over whelmed teachers, and overscheduled guidance
departments cannot answer the specific needs of each family.
A generic explanation, a large presentation, or a one-time guidance meeting
with your student won’t address your overall financial health and how
college expenses fit into your long term goals. Nor will it answer the
specific “how do I…” questions.
The FAFSA (many of you have probably heard “FASFA”—this is the wrong
name), the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, doesn’t charge an
application fee, unlike the colleges and universities charge application
fees. But using the expertise and experience of planners and coaches should
cost money just like using a CPA or Jackson Hewitt to fill out your taxes
costs money. You pay for experience, research, analysis, and planning.
Don’t dump the whole bowl of college planners just because someone you know
had a nasty, bitter experience. In the following articles we will show you
how to determine if you have gotten an ethical moral business or a nasty,
bitter piece of work.
