Customer Reviews

a huge help

this book totally dispelled my fears about post-grad life. i bought it before i started my last semester of college and was considerably more relaxed in those last months than most of my graduating friends. anytime an "issue" surfaced, i just paged through the book and breathed a sigh of relief. i've been out now nine months and life is going swimmingly! (this is a much better gift option for that special grad than all those other silly self-help Instructions books, etc.)

Perfect introduction to reality of life

This book was great, The most amazing thing for me was catching myself laughing. Usually these type of books tend to get boring, but the writers managed to preserve the balance of fun and lightness along with the plenty of useful info and guidance.

Book Review from Monster.com

Book Review The Everything After College BookThis lively but serious book is one of the most comprehensive I've ever seen on the subject of navigating the "Real World." If you've recently graduated or will soon, this handbook will give you the answers you might need on everything from how to make new friends and landing your first job to finding an apartment and cooking for one. It also helps you manage your finances, deal with your family (especially if you move back home with them) and survive office politics. In the career advice area, the authors are particularly on target with their comments on the problem of "career mirage" -- the phenomenon of finding yourself in a less than thrilling job that eludes your expectations of an exciting career. An episode of Cheers once opened with Norm walking into the bar and replying to Sam's "How's it going, Norm?" with "Sammy, it's a dog-eat-dog world and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear." If you're finding that life after college makes you feel the same way, or are about to graduate and worry about why lies ahead, then this is the book for you.

Go out and get it!

I loved this book! Even though I've been out of college for about four years now, this book really helped me cope with some issue I'm still facing today.It's a must read for anyone under 30.

A must-read for college grads and soon-to-be college grads!

It's about time that someone recognized that graduation isn't always one big party. This book presents real solutions to after college problems in a funny and interesting manner. I recommend this book for all recent college grads.
