About Us

Needcollegehelp is dedicated to students, parents, and the community who want the best information when it comes to selecting a college or career. My preference is pursue a career in demand such as a STEM-Science Technology Engineering or Math another option is the entrepreneur path. If you can avoid student loan debt.

My higher education experience includes attending community college for FREE then graduating with 3 college degrees OMG BA, MA, MA stands for MAMA plus certificates I passed the COMPTIA A+ in 2003 then 2006 before cybersecurity become sexy I cleared the COMPTIA Security + exams

I graduated from Cal State University Los Angeles minimal student loan debt ($4,300 I used it for a summer trip!)  I worked and paid my way through college my parents did not take out a loan for my BA and MA degrees in Latin American Studies  I mean although I had two college degrees I possessed no real discernible skills so a friend said I needed a practical degree in an emerging field so he (Eric thanks) recommended a second master degree in Education with a Computer Education and Technology Leadership. It was paid for with a state grant the California Equity Fellowship money and yes student loans but today would not get you a good used car.🚗🚗

  From UCLA Extension I  completed a Certificate in      Financial Planning so I received training in financial planning-taxes, insurance, mutual funds, investing so I understood the burden of student loans and  other pressing financial issues such as debt management major topics that sadly are not required in our k-12 public school system.

Back in the late 90s I was hesitant to take a position in the burgeoning financial services industry heck I had seen Oliver Stone’s Wall Street and Glengarry Glen Ross a commission oriented approach never appealed to my personality back then I was always for an open transparent fee-based system that is currently part of the new federal government financial services rules. I believe financial literacy should be required at all levels of k-12 and college public education.My High School survey June 2017

A teaching career was more like an insurance policy if there was an economic downturn I could turn to my California teaching credential with 3 authorizations-Social Studies, Computer Concepts and Applications, Intro to Business. Thankfully there is reciprocity with Arizona where I am now certified to teach Computers and ESL.  Opinions, thoughts, musings presented on my blog are personal.
