Last summer I met an interesting student. Caleb, a psychology major, has saved nearly $30,000 by working six months each year. He was my tour coach driver for Princess Tours in Alaska. Apparently Princess Tours assisted him in obtaining a commercial driver's license. Caleb plans to continue this routine through grad school, highlighting the benefits of strategic seasonal work.

3 key takeaways:

🌐 Skill Enhancement & Opportunities: Through this job, Caleb gains valuable skills, and with Princess Tours offering CDL training. It's a win-win. It's a reminder of the potential in seeking unconventional paths that blend personal growth with professional development.

🚍 Strategic Employment: Caleb works as a tour coach driver in Alaska during the summer months. This allows him to focus on academics during the school year without the need for a part-time job.

💸 Debt-Free Approach: By saving close to $30,000 each summer, Caleb covers his undergraduate education costs. And he also plans to continue this approach through grad school. He's setting a strong financial foundation for his future.
