4.0 out of 5 starsStudy on the transition from college to employment
By Ryan Frischmann on October 17, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Studies show some college students make a successful transition to employment and many other do not. A thesis in the book is colleges must change course from consumerism to adopting a rigorous academic approach. Something has to give.

2.0 out of 5 starsLight on Content. Overpriced. Do not recommend.
By Michael on August 17, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Extremely short essay (not book length). About 30% of the "book" is just notes and citations. While the message and content are good-ish, Allan Bloom and Andrew Delbanco offer much better and higher criticism of higher education. This had the feel of a research paper that got turned into a book.

Research based. Rational conclusions that are needed for informed and productive discussion on this vitally important topic. Look forward to more.
