    About this ebook

    My name is Grayson Marshall, author of the book, Knock Out College. While searching for a college to get my degree, I stubbornly decided I would NOT go into debt. I instead chose to test out of classes, which resulted in completing 33 credits of college in just 90 days for only $700 per semester! In addition, I had the freedom to travel and work at the same time. Now, I want to give other students the opportunity to do the same thing, and stay out student debt the way I did. Included in this book are my keys to success for testing out of classes; and advice for students in general. Hopefully, you will apply the knowledge in this book to save TENS of THOUSANDS on your education, just like I did.

      Knock Out College - Grayson Marshall

      Introduction

      Yes, you read the cover right.  I did 33 hours of college credit in 90 days for $700 a semester, and I never went to class.  My name is Grayson Marshall and I have discovered a well kept secret of how to knock out college.  Believe me, I was very skeptical when I first heard about this opportunity.  My parents were extremely doubtful as well; they asked me to do lots of research about this little-known method.  But after investigating, asking lots of questions, assessing the risks, and weighing the different options, we all agreed that I should jump in the ring and give it a try. 

      Every time I studied, took one test, and thereby earned 3 more hours of college credit, my family and friends would say, Wow, Grayson, you're really knocking out this college stuff! I accomplished most of the college credit in the fall, while still traveling and working.  In the winter and spring, I did a lot of snow skiing along with the working and traveling, but I still was able to acquire more college credit.  All total, I spent about 90 days in this endeavor.  I did not have a teacher, mentor, or supervisor.  My parents had said, This is your decision.  You are on your own.  They were encouraging, but the real work was up to me. So I did it.

      After earning a year’s worth of college credit in 90 days, my dad said, You ought to write an ebook to teach others how to do this!  So this is my story.  I wrote this book for students who are looking to save time, along with parents who want to help their children and save money.  I hope you find it helpful.

      Chapter 1

      THE REALITY

      1.26 trillion dollars. That’s how much the American student loan debt is worth. 1.26 trillion. That’s more than auto or credit card debt in the U.S. That number is so large, I did some research to find examples of what you can do with a trillion dollars.

      What to do with a trillion dollars:

      Buy 3 iPhone 7’s for each man, woman, and child in the U.S. Not just 3 per household. That’s 3 PER PERSON.

      Spend almost a million dollars a DAY for the next 3,000 years.

      Pay the 535 members of Congress for the next 10,742 years.

      And that’s just 1 trillion! We didn’t even count the other over ¼ of a trillion into those stats! I like these ridiculous examples because they seem to drive home what an astronomical amount this really is. This fortune is spread across 44 million people in the U.S. That’s an average of almost $29,000 of debt for each of these people.  Over 13.5 percent of the U.S. population is enslaved to student loan debt. These people must pay on their student loans each month to avoid getting charged more just for being late on paying their already crippling debt.

      A man in debt is so far a slave.

      Ralph Waldo Emerson

      These are ordinary people who just wanted to get a higher education to better themselves, not be indebted for the next few decades! The average time spent paying off student loans is 21 years after college. And that’s just for a bachelor’s degree! Sadly, we’ve come to expect students fresh out of high school to make decisions about careers, loans, and higher education that can financially cripple them for the next 20 years or more. Some go into college indecisive about their major. While there
