Global Students
ResumeEverybody knows the straight and narrow, up-and-out formula for American success: good grades, good scores, good college, big debt ... good luck.
My guests today, Maya and Tom Frost, say forget it. There’s a better way, they say. And the path leads abroad — early.
Stay home studying for SATs and taking on college debt, and you're guaranteed nothing in this topsy-turvy economy. Go abroad — as early as high school, especially for college, they say — and you’ll find low tuitions, big adventures, and the future.
This hour, On Point: A new American way in the world. Going global, right from the start.
You can join the conversation. Tell us what you think — here on this page, on Twitter, and on Facebook.Guests:
