Is Middle Class College Education No Longer For The Middle Class?

By: Tom Aikins

In American society, attending college was a hallmark of being or becoming middle class. However, for the

last two decades the middle class has struggled to pay for college education and with the downturn in the

economy expensive tuition and expensive admissions counseling is now out of the reach of most.

Universities like Harvard have responded by abolishing tuition for those who can not pay. Their huge

endowments made such acts of largesse possible. But those endowments have also been devastated by

the economic downturn.

One option for low income children was to join the US military and get the GI Bill. Unfortunately, with two

active high casuality wars, frontline combat experience seems like a high price to pay to become a

university freshman.

So what are some of the options for more moderate-income families?

Dr. Robert Clyne believes he has one attend a top California community college and transfer to a top

California university. If youre a California resident you can cut your college university cost to about

$80,000 and still graduate from a top university.

Dr. Clyne has developed a strategy to help people streamline this transfer process called the Best Path

Strategy.

Because California universities give preference to California community college graduates, the Best Path

System is the cheapest and most secure way to get a US degree from a top university like UCLA or UC

Berkeley. What is really great is that you absolutely never have to take an SAT test if you use this system.

All kinds of smart and talented kids, especially foreigners, are being made second class citizens in the

college admissions process by scoring poorly on an admittedly culturally biased test. With the Best Path

system you are evaluated solely by your academic performance at community college. It is a second

chance for those who performed poorly in high school and it is the only really chance for those who cannot

afford expensive admissions counseling, college admission help, and a full priced American college

tuition.

One third of the graduates of UCLA and UC Berkeley attend community colleges and then transfer. The

main advantage of hiring a professional is that they help you choose the right community college (there are

a 109 to choose from) and the Best Path service works with the school transfer guidance counselor to

help you take the maximum amount of transferable courses relevant to your major in the shortest period of

time. If not, it is easy to spend three and even four years in community before being able to transfer. We

design the strategy to help you get out of community college and into a prestigious four year college as

quickly as possible.

According to Dr. Clyne, Best Path offers one of the more credible responses to the impending crisis in

American higher education.
