How to Make Use of a Useless Degree: Finding Your Place in the Postmodern Economy

by Andrew Frothingham

According to an article in Fortune magazine, "the traditional job is becoming a social artifact". And, for a vast number of workers, especially those in their 20s and 30s, even a practical degree is no guarantee. This career guide is the first to acknowledge those realities and to offer new options and new ways of thinking to those who are still wondering what's in store for them career-wise, a month, a year, or five years after graduation.

Customer Reviews

OK, you finally finished college, and you have to get a job.

The rules have changed so much that older people (employed in the same job for more than 12 years) just don't get it. Their advise seems irrelevant to your situation. What should you do? Don't despair, pick up this practical guide to job hunting in a post-modern economy. You can find employment, happiness, and big bucks; well at least you can eat. Best job guide since What Color is Your Parachute.<P
