Review:

"Parents will return to it again and again as they coach their college age children on the road to independence. While written for parents, the authors never forget that the journey belongs to the students." --Karen Levin Coburn, author of "Letting Go: A Parents' Guide to Understanding the College Years"

The "College to Career Road Map" traces a route that honors the student, builds family ties, and will yield not just a job but a life path." --Marjorie Savage, author of "You're on Your Own (But I'm Here If You Need Me): Mentoring Your Child During the College Years"

"The Road Map is especially fine...Its tone and focus is to encourage parents to support their students in reflecting on their unique passions, talents, and values. That approach is sorely needed for this generation of young people, who are so 'connected' and pushed to achieve that they rarely have time to delve deeper in uncovering a meaningful, individual path in life." --Helen E. Johnson, author of "Don't Tell Me What to Do, Just Send Money: The Essential Parenting Guide to the College Years"
