The Broke College Kid's Investment In Progress

Your bank account isn't the only thing worth investing in right now. This guide reframes college as the highest-ROI four years you'll ever get — and shows you how to spend them wisely. Covers picking clubs that actually build something (not just resume filler), landing internships starting freshman year, protecting your mental and physical health, expanding your world through study abroad and cultural exposure, and building future-ready tech skills without a CS degree. Comes with a self-assessment worksheet to rate where you stand across six key areas and build a plan for the one that needs attention most.
