We love contrarians. We love hearing unique view points and so one of our favorite things to ask folks is for them to tell us something they believe that most people in their industry disagree with. Check out some of those responses below.

Ideally, our students would be prepared for a more fulfilling life (starting in primary/secondary school) by increasing the opportunities for them to not just learn about the world but to experience the world and what they are learning. Our communities both near and far are full of resources for life-enhancing, life improving skills. Read more>>

I admire schools that allow you to work in the industry they are interested in to gain experience. I think there should be more work-life education. Kids don’t know how to work anymore and the restaurant industry is feeling the burden of that plus the people who are not willing to work post Covid. Students nowadays think they are Chefs when they graduate Culinary School and that’s very far from the truth. They want it quick, easy, and not have to work for it. Some places are unfortunate enough to hire them as Sous Chefs and it ruins these students because they don’t get a chance to learn what they need to learn, and once they get another job they don’t know how to respect the Executive Chef or lead the staff, and don’t have the work ethic.

There are so many improvements needed to our educational system in this country. There is so much emphasis on going to college, (and not just any college, a ‘good’ college), getting a degree and beginning your career in your field of study. I don’t think we encourage young people enough to find something they love to do and to not worry so much about what degree they pursue or even going to college. My youngest son recently graduated from high school. During the ceremony, the faculty touted all the great universities that the graduates were going to attend. Read more>>

Our mission at The Admission Concierge is to help applicants navigate the admission process in some of the most competitive schools in the world both at the undergrad and graduate levels. Clients who come to me as a consultant are struggling to identify the right fit in terms of schools and/or field of study. The amount of information out there is overwhelming and guidance is hard to find. Admission staff in many universities is overworked and rarely can afford to spend a significant amount of time guiding potential applicants through the process of selecting the right program of study. The financial impact of committing to a degree program that won’t allow you to thrive professionally can be devastating. Read more>>

Launching doesn’t need to lead burnout. Doing a campaign full of social media marketing and email marketing doesn’t need to burn you or your team out. Most times companies will not give enough time to their launch or they change their offer up to the day of launch. This type of disorganization will burn you out. If you are working as a solo-preneur or someone with a team, give your team at minimum 6 months to prepare and fully understand the offer and the launch strategy. Read more>>

Most successful content creators on YouTube I stumble across appear to do well at following the latest trends in production and wrangling followers. YouTube analysts have recommended heavy CTA’s (Call To Actions) uploading often and regularly, with consistent themes. I adhere to none of these. Read more>>
