The basic adviceknow your productive times of day, live within your means, follow the Golden Rulemay be new to twenty something readers and favors human interaction over the Internet and gadgets. The sections on living alone, negotiating with roommates, maintaining career momentum and lifelong learning offer interesting insights. * Library Journal * This is one of several well-targeted books that have cropped up in recent years to help young adults overcome a range of challenges from time management to purchasing insurance. While I like that information, three solid chapters on succeeding at work and finding a mentor are what keep this title in my lineup. Life After College is not an in-depth strategy book, but an overview of the main areas competing for a 20-something's attention while launching into adulthood. Abundant stories and examples make it a quick and useful read. * Pioneer Press * Betsy Hays and Tori Terhune have penned the essential compendium for post-college life. It is as prescriptive as living with Dr. Phil without the video. This 'food for thought' tome is a real recipe for mastering the day to day grind of building a five star career that will keep the graduate professionally prepared and personally fulfilled. -- Gerard Francis Corbett, Chair and CEO, Redphlag LLC; past Chair and CEO, Public Relations Society of America They've done it again!
