Description
New York Times Bestseller From the bestselling author of College Unbound comes a hopeful, inspiring blueprint to help alleviate parents’ anxiety and prepare their college-educated child to successfully land a good job after graduation. Saddled with thousands of dollars of debt, today’s college students are graduating into an uncertain job market that is leaving them financially dependent on their parents for years to come—a reality that has left moms and dads wondering: What did I pay all that money for? There Is Life After College offers students, parents, and even recent graduates the practical advice and insight they need to jumpstart their careers. Education expert Jeffrey Selingo answers key questions—Why is the transition to post-college life so difficult for many recent graduates? How can graduates market themselves to employers that are reluctant to provide on-the-job training? What can institutions and individuals do to end the current educational and economic stalemate?—and offers a practical step-by-step plan every young professional can follow. From the end of high school through college graduation, he lays out exactly what students need to do to acquire the skills companies want. Full of tips, advice, and insight, this wise, practical guide will help every student, no matter their major or degree, find real employment—and give their parents some peace of mind.

"On My Own" could be a good read for someone who has experienced the loss of a spouse or loved one and is struggling to find their way forward. This book offers a deeply personal and moving account of how the author coped with the loss of her husband, including the practical and emotional struggles she faced. The author's focus is on her own experiences, but she also includes stories from other recently widowed friends, which can help the reader understand the range of reactions to such a loss. The book is particularly impactful for its coverage of the "right to die" movement, as the author's husband chose to stop taking food, water and medication during his long-drawn illness, sparking a poignant discussion about the right to death. Overall, the book is practical, inspiring, and a beacon of hope about the possibilities that remain to us, even as we deal with our own approaching mortality.
