Jay Cross

Jay is an author and ed tech entrepreneur from Connecticut. He runs The Do-It-Yourself Degree to help thousands of independent learners graduate faster (and debt-free) and is working on a book of the same title and topic. Jay's college acceleration strategies have been featured by Fox Business, Popular Mechanics, I Will Teach You To Be Rich, Brazen Careerist, The Personal MBA, and UnCollege.org.

When he isn't working, Jay enjoys hiking, reading, and the emotional roller-coaster of being a New York Mets fan. He lives by a simple philosophy: if we weren't already doing it this way, is this the way we would start? (The Mets, of course, being the obvious exception.)
