Inside Skip the Degree, Save the Tuition, Julia outlines a tangible four-step pathway that teaches you how to build YOUR OWN income-earning skill set. First, uncover your passion (what you love doing); then, map that to a real skill and build knowledge (learn, on your own); thirdly, roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty (labor); and lastly, grow and charge more for your skills as you refine them (level-up). Julia has repeated these steps to build her seven-figure brands, and teach hundreds of students how to grow theirs.
Co-author Dr. Ai Addyson-Zhang wrote the first chapter, and brings in a powerful perspective for both parents and students. After receiving her MA from Syracuse University and then her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, she began her teaching career as an Assistant Professor. A few years into her teaching career, Dr. Ai discovered that students were becoming more disengaged and less interested in learning. This led Dr. Ai to embark on a journey to transform today's education crisis.
Today, Dr. Ai is no longer teaching inside four walls, but on a much larger stage. She is the founder of Classroom Without Walls, serves as an Education consultant, and is a proud Adobe Education Leader and HubSpot Academy Instructor. Dr. Ai has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, The Today Show's Parenting Column, Pearson Education, and more.
