COLLEGE-TO-CAREER
"Roberta and Joan have provided the single-most critical guidance for our 20-something son as he transitioned from college to his career as a filmmaker. Faced with so many ways into the business, they showed him how to pinpoint the path best suited to his singular talents, ambitions and character. With patience and unwavering - but realistic - support, they have helped him to define his goals and to develop the precise skills he needs to reach them."
-Sandra and Doug
Parents of a 20-something filmmaker
When the time comes to leave college and join the workforce, young adults must cope with another moment of huge transition in their lives.
