OK! Now - you need some education and training in order to do what you think you’ll love to do (next)?
Its research time. We went to our local library system onlne catalogue, and did a search just for “colleges”,and got 1142 titles.
If your local library system won’t do that, try ours: http://www.kcls.org
When you’ve found some books you like, borrow (library) or buy them locally...maybe get them used via amazon.com
Here’s just a smattering of what we found:
"College Ranking Exposed - The Art of Getting A Quality Education in the 21st Century", by Paul Boyer
"Homeschooling-High School-Planning Ahead for College Acceptance" by Jeanne G Dennis
"The College Board Book of Majors"
There are a number of Peterson Guides:
"To Distance Learning Programs",
"Best Colleges for Students with ADD",
"To Competitive Colleges 2006",
"To 4 Year Colleges", and so on
"America’s Best Value Colleges", by Eric Owens
"Guide to American Graduate Schools", by Harold Doughty
"Best Answers to the 201 Most Frequently Asked Questions About College", by Mary Kay Stanley
We could go on and on! HAVE FUN RESEARCHING!
