The End of Education: A Guide with Planning Hacks and Tips to Prepping for After-College Life - Financial Freedom & Life Hacks

Much has been said about planning your career and your "life" but that advice always starts with getting a solid education and then kind of fluffs right over to the actual career having part. There are far too many recent college grads that are standing in utter bewilderment who can testify to the fact that there is a large gap in these planning books, a large gap indeed. Thankfully you have this particular book which is not going to skip or skim over the gap but rather drag you to the edge of it and force you to see what is really going on out there, outside of the safe cocoon of college.
This is a book aimed at the younger crowd, those who went from living at home to the dorms to apartments and then into the world or those who went from living at home, partying in dorms and sneaking out to apartments. This book should also prove quite useful to the helicopter parents of the world who may need their own dose of reality so that they are better equipped to help their special snowflake in the real world.
Remember parents, no one ever got a job because Mother aced the interview. Here are just some of the valuable, real life, real talk lessons you will learn in this book: Deciding whether you need an advanced degree for your field or not. Possible roles for the recent grad at their former school. How to make your career goals a reality including how to best utilize the advice of your advisers. Financial planning for the recent college grad- getting a job that pays the bill vs.
a career that fulfills, what a real world budget might look like and how to deal with the crushing realization that no one is clamoring for you and your barely dry degree just yet. How the time schedules of college and the real world are earth shatteringly different and how that can be a problem for certain people. Changing your goals as you move along- including the knowledge that you may have to move away from your current location to get ahead in your field and more.
It's a tough old world out there, no doubt about it. The ones that will succeed will be the ones that are best prepared for whatever may come along. It might be kind of scary, but let's dive in and get ready for reality. It always pops up when you least expect it!
