This review is from: How the real world really works: graduating into the rest of your life (Paperback)

Most college grads fumble around after college, looking for jobs, trying to make a social life, date, save and buy car insurance. A few years later they learn some important lessons, i.e. Socializing is just as important as climbing the corporate ladder, How much should one invest and save?
Save some time and headaches. It's spelled out clearly with common sense and funny anecdotes.

I highly recommend engineers and computer people to read this. There's more to life than buy cool toys and buying stock. It's the kind of advise your older sibling would give if you just graduated. Learn from others wisdom.
