Product Description

So You Graduated College is much more than that. It is a colorful and insightful book packed with valuable information, advice, and personal experiences, which young adults can relate to. Of course it will help prepare the reader for success in the real world, but it is also enjoyable to read and will capture the recent graduate’s attention.

Customer Reviews

Useful Utility for those of us done with or about to finish school
Just finishing my masters and with no idea what I'm going to do so I decided to buy a bunch of these "financial guides." This is definately one of the better ones in terms of advice and definately the best in terms of readability. This one didn't make me fall asleep when I was reading it so 2 thumbs up for that. I found the advice given in this book to be good and don't really have any complaints about the book. Too bad it can't get me a job!

Good Read
This book had some great advice, actually changed my career path. Very interesting and readable, especially for a book on finance. Would make a great reader or reference for a recent college graduate, or any interested people. Will definatly make you more money than you'll spend on it!

Very Fun Financial Guide
This really is a book that recent graduates can relate to and will actually read. Helpful guide for financial success and young adult friendly.
