[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people take a leave of absence to help their kids with college apps? I can barely juggle work and home as it is. I don’t have time to do research, listen to podcasts, and edit essays. DH has absolutely no interest.  Where do people find the time to become their kid’s unpaid college consultant? [/quote]

I am a partner at a law firm and I am listening to podcasts on my car commute, reading here on my work breaks, and learning a lot from going to college tours and info sessions.  BUT, I did hire a college counselor for my kid, who is a rising senior.  I can't recommend my counselor as we have not seen the results yet, but so far I have been very pleased to have a sounding board as there are many, many small and big decisions to be made (e.g. TO or no, how to order the activities list, whether to use the additional info section, 3rd recommendation or no, is X school a safety or a target, etc.) and it is way easier for me to tell kid to ask the college counselor if I don't know the answer.  Well worth the money in my view.[/quote]
