ICR 103_ Adam Bauer, Cost of College

ICR 103: Adam Bauer, Cost of College

10/08/2016 Posted by Martin Bamford Interview, Podcast 2 Comments

Higher education is an expensive business.

Tuition fees, the cost of accommodation and lost earnings potential all take their toll, often resulting in a lifetime of student debt.

In the United States, the cost of college is even higher than it is in the UK, as my guest on this episode of the podcast will explain.

In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, I speak to Adam Bauer.

Adam is Financial Literacy Program Director at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.

Adam describes his role as developing WSU’s financial literacy program. He says: Sometimes I teach. Sometimes I coach. Rarely, I sleep.

A former English teacher, Adam is passionate about using his MBA in finances to improve financial literacy for college age students.

In this episode, we talk about how college in the US differs from the UK. I ask Adam about the financial fundamentals students typically lack and whether higher education is still worth its high cost.

Welcome to Cost of College with Adam Bauer, in episode 103 of Informed Choice Radio.

Some questions I ask

-How did you get involved in financial literacy?

-What are the different types of colleges in the US and how do their fee structures differ?

-Do many students drop out of college because they struggle with financial literacy issues?

-What financial fundamentals do students typically lack?

-With such high tuition costs, is going to University still worth the money?

    An interesting discussion but one thing was missing,the importance of the coordinator role,lots of CCG’s to make the nurse assessor the coordinator,which waits the DST in the CCG’s favour,and completely ignores the framework guidelines they do this to make sure the coordinator role is not independent and seperate from the DST assessment,and rely on the ignorence of the family and people being assessed,any one under going a continuing healthcare assessment,should download the DOH framework guidance and print of page 70 of the guidelines,and bring this to the attention of the MDT and the CCG’s,and insist that the guidelines on page 70 are carried out correctly before the DST is carried out.

      Hi Valerie, thanks for sharing this useful comment. It’s so important to go into these assessments fully briefed and reading the framework guidelines is a must for any family in this position.
