An Alternative to Costly College Costs

College students across the nation are really starting to feel the monetary pain and stress of astronomical tuition costs.  With shrinking federal, state, and university financial aid resources, frustrated students are finding that paying for school without racking up colossal debt, is becoming a much more difficult and impervious task.

Enter the Get a Mentor program.  A specialized mentorship program, Get a Mentor connects students (who can range anywhere in age from 16 to 70) with professionals in the field the students wishes to begin a career in.   Now why would anyone want to complete a mentorship program over esteemed higher education?  Well, you may be surprised to find out there are perhaps a number of reasons. 

First, the program only costs a one-time fee of $6,000 (a great deal less than most schools charge for one semester of tuition).  Second, the training is done completely one-on-one providing first hand experiences and the utmost attention.  Third, the training can be done around the student’s schedule so it does not interfere with work or other obligations.  Last but certainly not least, the program allows students to obtain relevant work experience in the field they want to pursue a career in.  It helps them establish contacts and begin networking.  Not to mention, there is 100% job placement for students who fully complete the program. 

Get a Mentor currently offers mentorships within the “glamour” businesses, or media industries, similar to a film, radio, sound engineering, or broadcasting internship
