Published many years ago, (Has it really been that long?) The After-College Guide to Life was inspired by the eye-opening discovery that a college diploma doesn't prepare you for all that life throws your way. Written collaboratively with a friend and former roommate, the book addressed the many issues facing naive college grads. As one Baltimore Sun reporter noted at the time, this book is "a common-sense guide for the recently graduated as they float back down to hard reality."
