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.
