• Welcome to Career & College Wise!  It is a blog written by Sherry S. Andrews, a school counselor of more than 32 years, who is willing to share good, sound information about life after high school - career and college info. Upon her retirement from Lee County Schools in June 2013, she founded, owns, and operates the educational consulting firm, SUCCESS+/College Planning Made Easy!  (Website:  successplus4u.com)  

    She currently travels North Carolina for face-to-face meetings and also uses various technologies such as Skype, Google Hangout, and FaceTime to work with students and their parents across the United States and internationally in selecting a career and meandering through the college process which encompasses but is not limited to:  college applications and their essays and interviews, scholarship applications and their essays and interviews, SAT and ACT prep, athletic recruitment, financial aid, high school course selection, recommendations, and the list goes on and on. 
     
    In addition to her professional credentials, she has also been a parent of two children, so she has lived the career and college process from both sides of the fence.  Mrs. Andrews offers Lee County’s students and parents a new avenue of information delivery through this blog.  She will be posting daily – Monday through Friday – and she welcomes your topic suggestions as well as questions by way of email – ccw@lee.k12.nc.us !
