4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for college graduates,
By A Customer
This review is from: Welcome to the Real World: You've Got an Education, Now Get a Life! (Paperback)
This book is very well written and organized. I will definately refer back to this book in the future. It had a lot of excellent ideas for the recent college graduate, covering everything from resumes to investing. I really liked how the book was full of basic information that everyone needs to know. It also listed sources where one can find more information though other books and the internet.

What every college graduate needs to know,
By A Customer
This review is from: Welcome to the Real World: You've Got an Education, Now Get a Life! (Paperback)
"Welcome to the Real World" is a wonderful resource tool for future graduates. Ms. Kravetz covers every aspect of how to survive in the "real world" after graduation. I do reccommend, however, that you buy this book one semester before graduation. This way you are one step ahead of everyone else. Thank you, Stacy Kravetz!

Great resource,
This review is from: Welcome to the Real World: You've Got an Education, Now Get a Life! (Paperback)
I was quite surprised at how interesting and practical this book was. Many books on personal finance or job finding can be grueling to read and filled with more hype than useful tips. But Stacy Kravetz writes well, and she knows what she's talking about. She also has a pretty healthy perspective on jobs and finding jobs, which can provide hope for the underemployed college grad. If you're looking to organize your life in a sensible way, it's definitely worth skimming through once, but it can be a good reference guide as well.
