I am a genius, or at least I was at age seventeen. I was a top student in a mid-size high school in a small town, who wanted to major in physics. Einstein, Feynman, and Newton were all beneath me. Surely, I would discover the magic of cold fusion or time travel that eluded them. I had the world by the balls, except the world didn’t know it.

Two years after graduating from high school, I flunked out of an Ivy League school, forsaking physics for a fabulous job in the retail food industry. I stocked grocery shelves at night. And…I stocked those shelves far better than Einstein, Feynman, and Newton combined. What went wrong? A more honest way to frame the question is, “How did I screw up my college choice?”

And you will find your answer to not screw up your child’s choice (and save you money in the process – a lot of money!).

    Funny. I’m not looking forward to being back on a college campus, but this book gave me a new perspective. Great read.

    My wife read this to me as we were driving to my daughter’s campus welcome for potential students. Even my daughter started to laugh!

    I want this guy to do my taxes. I wonder if he can get an IRS agent to laugh!

    Your book takes a lot of the stress out of these visits. I thought I was the only one with these feelings. Glad to see that I am not the only dad out there who feels like this!

    I actually read this after my first kids ‘visits.’ Now I’m better prepared what the next 3!

    Holly – August 17, 2021

    This is definately written from a man’s perspective, but I have to admit, it was pretty funny, even for us moms.

    Atticus – August 17, 2021

    I’m on my grandkids visits. Could have used this perspective when my own kids went on theirs.

    Travis – August 16, 2021

    Great stories. A couple of them actually happened to me and my family. We are not alone — and that is great to know.

    Chole – August 14, 2021

    Thanks for the encouragement. I’m on my 7th visit with the same kid. Ugh. Your book helped me get through it. Thanks.

    I have three daughters and they all are going to college. I’m going to keep this book very handy, to keep my sanity through the process.

    Carl – February 28, 2021

    What a fun read! So, there is humor in these college visits.

    Nick – July 15, 2020

    As strange as college decision making normally is, Covid made it impossible. But your book made it survivable. Funny, funny funny! Great job taking my mind off of the task at hand!

    This guy can’t be a CPA. He is waayyy to funny. Every parent going through the pain of visiting college campuses needs to read this book.
