The College Planning Coach

How Jim Anderson Helps Families Find the Right College for Their Child

More than 25 years ago, Jim Anderson relocated to Cobb County with his wife, Trish, in search of an exceptional environment to raise their four children, ensuring their academic and social development. Cobb County has certainly lived up to their expectations! As his children grew up and achieved success, Jim realized the importance of community involvement, particularly the superior academics and athletics offered in the area, and he founded a unique enterprise called Making College Worth It.

The establishment of Making College Worth It arose from Jim’s firsthand experiences. A short-lived career in financial planning and the college research process for his eldest child ignited his passion for helping families navigate the complexities of college planning. Faced with limited local resources to address the crucial aspect of college costs, Jim developed extensive knowledge and decided to start a business that would assist others in avoiding the challenges of contemporary college planning.

As a parent himself, Jim recognizes that college planning goes beyond merely being accepted into a college.  He is committed to identifying the right college that offers the appropriate major options, a suitable price point, and foundational skills necessary for the student's future career. Jim coaches families to define these end goals, ensuring that the college experience is truly worth it.

The Making College Worth It experience begins with a thorough understanding of the family's academic and financial situation. Through personalized questionnaires, Jim delves into the student's aspirations and identifies potential career opportunities. From there, he constructs a tailored roadmap that distinguishes the desired majors and identifies colleges that align with the student's ambitions. Throughout the process, Jim maintains open lines of communication, refining the plan based on the student's research and providing guidance on college applications and financial aid.

What makes Jim’s services exceptional is his steadfast commitment to the success of his clients even after they enter college. He offers ongoing support by discussing course selection, ensuring that students acquire the specific skills and knowledge required for their chosen career path. This comprehensive approach ensures that every step is taken to make the college experience truly valuable.
