A book that illustrates post-grad experiences with personal essays, humour pieces, and practical advice about work, school, and unemployment - and tricks for pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps even if you don't have any #%@#! boots.

What's a diploma worth if you're graduating into a terrible economic meltdown? After all, even in a good year, twenty somethings have to get used to a world where they're no longer sheltered, pampered, or encouraged to pursue passions, interests, and extracurricular activities. Now, they have to deal with the worst job market in half a century and a culture increasingly skeptical about their ability to survive in the real world. That's why the world doesn't need another lame self-help book. "Oh the Places You'll ...Kinda End Up Hanging Around" is a hilarious and brutally honest book that illustrates post-grad experiences with personal essays, humour pieces, and practical advice about work, school, and unemployment - and tricks for pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps even if you don't have any #%@#! boots. Twisted Dr. Seuss-ish drawings on every page illustrate the puddled rainbow dreams of today's youth, with chapters ranging from Oh the Jobs You'll Settle For to Oh the Things You'll Endure! As these stories show, college graduates don't find easy solutions, but that only makes them stronger.
