Synopsis
Not just a job hunt book or personal finance book, this book covers it all, with the wisdom and experience of someone who's recently been there, done that and lived to tell about it. For every college graduate this witty, smart, comprehensive survival guide makes sense out of the confusion called the Real World. You've finally graduated from college, and you've vowed never to look at another Scantron form again. You're ready . . . but for what? Suddenly, all your relatives are asking what you're doing with the rest of your life, you don't have health insurance or a clue about how to get it, you can't make heads or tails out of your income tax form, and you're seriously considering going on the all-hot dog diet to save money. Help! Who knew real life was going to be so complicated? Relax. No one said you had to have it all figured out just because someone handed you a diploma. This book gives you the answers you need to get your post-college life on track, from learning what kinds of jobs are out there to getting your first job, from renting an apartment to balancing your budget, from haggling with car dealers to paying back your student loans. You'll learn about renter's insurance and collision insurance, 401(K) plans and mutual funds, how to start your own business, and how not to blow all your money at Ikea. Most of all, you'll learn that surviving in the real world isn't nearly as tough as it's cracked up to be. All you need is the right guide.
