A Fairytale Fortune for College is my story of how the Cracking the Code to Free College strategy came about. I didn't set out to build something I could share with the world. No. That came much later. I only wanted to save my own children from the burden of college debt. When friends, and friends-of-friends, learned that my two homeschooled kids attended college on 17 scholarships and essentially got paid to go to college, they began emailing and texting me, asking how I did it. I realized that this strategy is too valuable to keep to myself. "College doesn't have to be a debt sentence," became my slogan, and Cracking the Code to Free College became the method by which other families could gain the Fairytale Fortune for College. Share this with other families who need this information. The earlier you start, the more opportunities there are. I'm Denise Thomas, TEDx speaker, and creator of Cracking the Code to Free College.

50% of high school seniors have no clue what they want to do after high school. 47% think they do. But 85% of college students change their major at least once! This causes a loss of credit hours and usually an extension of their time in college, costing more in tuition and fees. And since 80% of working adults are unhappy in their jobs, it's probably safe to say they never figured out what their best career in life really is.
Join me as I interview Dr. Moses McCutcheon as he tells us about a system that hones in on that best life career for your child. Believe it or not, the earlier you start the better! Why? Because then you can help your teen craft their high school years with more focus and passion. This is what colleges and scholarship boards are looking for!
