Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book really helped me put the struggles I was facing at work in perspective. McColl is very funny amd entertaining as a writer (I think she is the best writer at Jane!). She interviews a very diverse group of people, and gives insight into many professions and "life routes." Life since graduating college has been harder than I expected. If you had an older, wiser, funny friend who worked in twenty or more jobs over the years but was still down to earth and young enough to give you advice you could use, you wouldn't need a book like this. But for anyone questioning their career path who hasn't found that "perfect" mentor (if one even exists)---read the book, and laugh along knowing you are not the only one out there going through this.

As a pragmatic reaction to the newfound "quarterlife crisis" genre, Katy McColl interviews real men and women "stuck" in their twenties and early thirties and solicits a variety of experts for advice on how to get unstuck. McColl employs a distinctively droll brand of humor and a "self-help without self-pity" approach to inspiring those disenchanted by their initial forays into the heady real world. The themes here are universal - how to negotiate that with a career, how to study a craft in an un-lucrative field, how to break into glamour industries, and what to do when laid off. Help comes via those who overcame the same problems and blazed their own trails in the most desirable fields, from noted fashionistas like Heatherette to successful musicians like Chris Conley. Organized by case study but filigreed with McColl's comic commentary, the book offers ace advice on achieving that elusive career that's rewarding in every respect.
