From Publishers Weekly
What if, while one is ensconced in a six-year art history doctoral program, the idea of a career in academia loses its luster? Susan Basalla and Maggie Debelius have been there, and they've used their Ph.D.s in English from PrincetonAalong with the additional confidence and skills their degrees have providedAto open doors into different (and higher-paying) careers. In "So What Are You Going to Do with That?": A Guide to Career-Changing for M.A.'s and Ph.D.'s, they use wit, directness and great anecdotal evidence to guide readers through the soul-searching decision to leave academia, turning a stuffy C.V. into a high-powered r?sum? and landing the interviewAand the job. Agent, Daniel Greenberg. (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $15 paper 176p ISBN 0-374-52621-4; Jan.)

From Booklist
Last year, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported that the number of tenure-track academic teaching positions had fallen and would continue to decline. Citing this trend, Basalla and Debelius warn that graduate students and faculty might now want to consider the "alternative job market more than ever." Both authors have successfully made a transition to what they call the "post-academic world." Basalla is a medical journalist; Debelius is an editor at an Internet start-up. They tailor standard job-hunting advice to the specific circumstances of those who are "halfway to graduation and suddenly wondering if teaching is the right [choice]." In discussing one's options, they look at such issues as should students finish their dissertations? By profiling others who decided to move on, they emphasize the wide variety of opportunities and choices. They also provide self-evaluation exercises, recommend tips for information interviewing, advise how to turn a curriculum vitae into an effective resume, and suggest how to market one's academic credentials in a job interview.
