The IDEAL Graduation Gift

The gift that
lasts a lifetime!

While other people are giving jewelry and gift cards as graduation presents, here is your chance to give your favorite Graduate the IDEAL graduation gift - something they will remember for the rest of their lives - the tools necessary to take control of their life after college!

So what makes this System the IDEAL Graduation Gift?

Take any hundred people at the start of their working careers and follow them for 40 years until they reach retirement age, and here’s what you’ll find: according to the Social Security Administration, only 1 will be wealthy, 4 will be financially secure, 5 will continue working, not because they want to, but because they have to, 36 will be dead, and 54 will be dead broke which will leave them dependent on their meager Social Security checks, relatives, friends, even charity for a minimum standard of living. That’s 5% successful, 95% unsuccessful!

What separates the 5% of "haves" from the 95% of "have nots"?

Make their Dream Job
a reality!

Well, it all starts with a succesful career...

Maybe you’ve been watching Oprah or the Six O’Clock News lately and talk of recession has you (rightly) concerned. Maybe you’ve already been laid off or face an uncertain future at a shaky company. Well, imagine what your favorite Grad-to-be is looking forward to come June!

A flood of newly minted graduates will hit the market, but there will be very few good jobs to be found. A never ending stream of miseries from Wall Street to Main Street fill the newspaper every day. Spikes in energy and food prices are resulting in inflationary pressures just as the economy is heading full-steam into a downturn. Prices are up, wages are down, and it is a serious challenge to find any kind of decent job in many places around the country. With the upcoming elections, we are not likely to see any change in this situation until mid 2009 at the earliest, no matter who controls the White House.

Limited Choices for the Class of 2008

For many of the students that I have spoken with, they feel they have only two choices.

Get a cruddy, low-wage, no-growth job wherever they can find it.
Go back to school and incur a mountain of debt studying something they aren’t even sure they are all that interested in, just to get ready for a career they are not sure they want.

You can do something to help your favorite Grad out of this pickle...

There is a better answer, an IDEAL answer!
