[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure it’s any different than paying for another service. I paid to have someone manage the process because I saw that it took over our friend’s life when he devoted two years to learning the process and helping his kids. I paid to not have to do the research, not manage my kids, and therefore preserve our relationship in the last year they were in my house and already trying to pull away from us, which is natural for growing independence. Sure, I could have been blessed with kids who could do it all themselves (research schools, manage deadlines, and figure out supplemental essays, and figure out the common app, and other apps for schools who don’t take it, fill it out w/o errors, and on) on top of a heavy load, but those aren’t my kids. Besides, when I’m in a time crunch I hire help and when I’ve needed to make career move I’ve hired a coach. Excellent investment for me. That doesn’t mean it is for everyone. [/quote]
