Self-Help
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.
