About This Quiz

College used to be the ideal path of choice for starting a career, creating wealth and finding a future to impress your friends and family members. Nowadays, people are beginning to develop their paths through other means, such as blogging and creating startup companies. 

If you are thinking about going to college, remember there are a wide variety of colleges to choose from.

If you're super smart (or very lucky), you might be able to attend college for free through various types of scholarships.
