I had been thinking about writing a book with tips for college students for a while. During my college years, I realized that most college advisers are not acting in the interest of the students and end up giving terrible advice.
As I have accumulated a lot of insights into the college system I wanted to share this knowledge. I don’t have meaningful credentials to comment on the american education system other than my 5 years spent at Michigan State University in which I
- graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA
- completed 4 internships at companies like Ford and Tesla
- met my significant other
- met my best friend
- developed leadership skills by leading our international student association
- worked in a research lab on Machine Learning solutions
- Had an active social life participating in parties, tailgates, trips, and clubs
However, I realized that I do not enjoy writing enough to ever complete an entire book.
Yet, I still want to share the lessons I learned because I am convinced that they will give value to many students. In conclusion, I want to build an online course!
Initial steps for building an online course
