Customer Reviews

A good book for high school graduates too

My son got this book when he graduated college, and wishes he had it right after high school. It has a lot of common-sense advice that generally takes a few years out of school to learn on your own. You'll find info on stocks and bonds, how to act appropriately during a dinner with your boss (you're really not there to eat), what clothes to wear for different functions (business casual vs. business dress), insurance programs, and buying durable goods. A lot of it centers around finances and how to keep yourself out of hot water, and it at least gives you the basics. It's a worthwhile book for all young adults, because they rarely listen to the wisdom of their parents. The tongue-in-cheek advice is perfect for young people, is succinct and makes for an easy read.

LIfe after school explained

This is a great, reasonably priced book that gives good common sense advice for young people entering the workforce fresh out of college. It helps them think about all of those things they may have never have had to worry about as they were growing up and while in school.

This Book Is Great!

I loved this book. It was written for people like me who don't know anything about living on their own or how to file taxes, what the heck a w4 is, and how to look for an apartment. I think it is a perfect graduation gift for college kids. (I wish somebody bought it for me).

What a great idea!

I wish I'd had this book after I graduated. It took years to learn what I could have learned in one afternoon reading this book! Kudos to Cap and Compass! I'll tell every parent of a college student I know about this fantastic book!

Handy Little Guide!!

As a young person a few years out of college- I wish I would have read this book right after graduation. I actually came across it at a friend's house and found it to be very useful (tips on everything from handling business dinners to 401Ks) and very funny.Great for the "fresh out of the water" grad!
