We would all like to be in control of our lives or be the decision makers of our day to day living, with that; we all need a good education and a strong background. We all have goals growing up of being doctors, lawyers, fire fighters or even an explorer, who has great adventures like Indiana Jones. These dreams all must start from somewhere in reality.

Although a higher education may become one of the largest expenses you may ever have, it may just as well be the smartest investment to make. We all think of our lives after high school and how we plan to live with high hopes and expectations. A nice home, a car, two kids, a dog and a big yard, although most of the time we don’t think of the time and
