As a result, students and their parents are willing to go into years of debt and potentially sabotage their entire financial futures just to get a fancy name on their diploma. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Zac Bissonnette is walking proof that this assumption is not only false, but dangerous-a class con game designed to rip you off and doom your student to a post-graduation life of near poverty . From his unique double perspective-he's a personal finance expert (at Daily Finance) AND a current senior at the University of Massachusetts-Zac figured out how to get an outstanding education at a public college, without bankrupting his parents or taking on massive loans. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArmed with his personal knowledge, the latest data, and smart analysis, Zac takes on the sacred cows of the higher education establishment. He reveals why a lot of the conventional wisdom about choosing and financing college is not only wrong but hazardous to you and your child's financial future. You'll discover, for instance, that: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* Student loans are NOT a necessary evil. Ordinary middle class families can- and \u003ci\u003emust\u003c\/i\u003e-find ways to avoid them, even without scholarships. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* College \"rankings\" are useless-designed to sell magazines and generate hype. If you trust one of the major guides when picking a college, you face a potential financial disaster. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* The elite graduate programs accept lots of people with non-elite bachelors degrees. So do America's most selective employers. The name on a diploma ultimately won't help your child have a more successful career or earn more money. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eZac can prove every one of those bold assertions - and more. No matter what your current financial situation, he has a simple message for parents: \"RELAX  Your kid will be able to get a champagne education on a beer budget \"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eZac Bissonnette\u003c\/b\u003e wrote two acclaimed bestsellers before his 24th birthday: \u003ci\u003eDebt-Free U\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHow to Be Richer, Smarter, and Better-Looking Than Your Parents\u003c\/i\u003e.
