No More Ramen: The 20-Something's Real World Survival Guide: Straight Talk on Jobs, Money, Balance, Life, and More

Based on 200 interviews with students at colleges and technical schools across the nation, this advice book identifies the biggest concerns and stumbling blocks associated with entering the workforce. Presented in a question-and-answer format—and interspersed with interactive exercises and personal stories from the interviewees—topics include job hunting, pursuing an advanced degree, goal setting, managing money, choosing a health care plan, defining success, and finding happiness. The final chapter culminates in "My Eleven 'Must-Knows,'" and the author's reassuring message that today's 20-somethings are no more uncertain than previous generations, and have all the necessary potential to achieve their dreams for the future.
