Most people know that there are 70 million Baby Boomers in America
today....but what is less known is that there are approximately 100
million people in America between the ages of 16 and 30. This
generation has just entered, or will soon be entering the work
force. And they have no idea how to invest, save, or handle their
money.
Young people today come out of school having had little or no
formal education on the basics of money management. Many have large
debts from student loans looming over their heads. And many feel
confused and powerless when their pricey educations don't translate
into high paying jobs. They feel that their $30,000-$40,000 salary
is too meager to bother with investing, and they constantly fear
that there will be "too much month left at the end of their money."
Douglas R. Andrew has shown the parents of this generation a
different pathway to financial freedom. Now Doug and his sons,
Emron and Aaron - both of whom are in their mid-20s - show the
under-30 crowd how they can break from traditional 401k investment
plans and instead can find a better way by investing in real
estate, budgeting effectively, avoiding unnecessary taxes and using
life insurance to create tax-free income.
With the principles outlined in Millionaire by Thirty, recent
graduates will be earning enough interest on their savings to meet
their basic living expenses by the time they're 30. And by the time
they're 35, their investments will be earning more money than they
are, guaranteeing them a happy, wealthy future.
What sets study abroad apart from tourism? Both study abroad and
mass tourism are experiencing rapid growth in the international
market-with study abroad increasingly serving as an integral
component of the "university experience"-and both call on the same
sorts of processes and infrastructures. Yet study abroad promoters
often promise that student travel will not be a tourist experience
but something deeper, more educational and engaging-an antidote to
typical tourism. But as study abroad becomes both democratized and
bureaucratized in the modern neoliberal university, what was once
considered a cosmopolitan "anti-tourism" experience has
progressively taken on the trappings of modern mass tourism:
shorter, pre-programed, standardized and heavily-marketed. With
contributions from anthropologists and cultural theorists who have
deep ties to study abroad programs, Study Abroad and the Quest for
an Anti-Tourism Experience examines the culture and cultural
implications of student travel. Drawing on rich case studies from
the Arctic to Africa, Asia to the Americas, this impressive array
of experts focuses on challenges and ethical implications of
student engagement, service and volunteering, immersion,
student-faculty research collaborations in the field, local
community impacts, and the impetus to craft a new generation of
active, engaged global citizens. This volume is a must-read for
students interested in study abroad, practitioners designing
high-impact educational experiences away from their host
institutions, and scholars who wish to explore the
interrelationship between study abroad, tourism and anti-tourism
movements.
