Review
Carol Carter, a publishing-industry executive and the author of a half-dozen employment guides, believes college students who truly want to succeed after graduation must actually start preparing as soon as they begin their post-high school education. In Majoring in the Rest of Your Life, she presents a series of suggestions designed to help these students move from their often unfocused freshman years to landing the job of their dreams. Chapters deal with defining interests and goals, balancing academic and personal lives, aiming for useful extracurricular activities and part-time jobs, networking, traveling, and, eventually, sending out résumés and going on interviews. Carter certainly defines the linkage between school world and real world in a way that makes the connection click, and then provides the tools (including six appendices containing more than 50 pages of additional information and resources) that just might make it stick. --Howard Rothman
