A blueprint to help alleviate parents' anxiety and prepare their college-educated child to land a good job after graduation, from the author of College Unbound. "An eye-opening exploration of what the future holds for college grads. It's an essential read for students—and their parents—to prepare for launching careers in a radically different job market." —Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times–bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals 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. "Jeffrey Selingo's book belongs on the desk of every career counselor, on the shelf of every parent, and in the hands of every young person planning his or her future. There Is Life After College is essential reading for navigating the new workplace terrain." —Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell Is Human and Drive "Selingo provides valuable information about what kids really need to know to not just be employable, but to be in a position to know what they want, know how to get there, and succeed once they've arrived. I will be planting this book in my teenager's bookshelf." —Jessica Lahey, New York Times–bestselling author of The Gift of Failure
