A College Education

Some may wonder about the value of a college education and whether it’s really worth the investment of time and money. Absolutely! Simply put, college educated individuals make more money than non-college educated individuals. "Education pays" according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Click the link above to view a chart of earnings by educational attainment.


Well, what about trade schools? Trade schools are for seeing an immediate correlation between the specific trade/discipline (electrician, plumber, automotive mechanic, dental hygienist, MRI technician, etc.) and money.


As far as college goes, I look at it as a bridge to “adulting”. Young adults attend college to gain knowledge, but essentially, they are also networking at a basic level with friends, peers, and professors AND getting to know how to navigate in a world outside of their home environment.


My hope for students is that they graduate on time and be hirable for a job they want and enjoy. PCCI's job is to maximize a student’s pathway to this success. 

PCCI's goal is to find the best fit at a school that is academically, socially and FINANCIALLY most appropriate, thereby putting your student in the best position to succeed in college and beyond.


Remember, there can be a huge difference between sticker price and net cost (i.e. what you actually pay). It’s our job to show you where and how much to expect that number to move down to or alternatively show you which colleges will stay at full price based on your situation while still keeping you on track with your budget.


Allow PCCI to help set you up for success and find your dream school.

A Note About Extra Essays

Selective schools are doing away with the rigorous college application extra essays. While having to write fewer essays makes the actual application process less “intense” for high school students at the outset, what it really means is that it will be easier for MANY MORE (20 thousand+) students to apply. Essentially, these schools are increasing their pool of applicants and decreasing their acceptance rate. More applicants means that the competition is greater and tougher.
