Grad to Grown-Up

Everything you didn't learn in school but all you need to know to launch your personal and professional life.

Grad to Grown-Up: 68 Tips to Excel in Your Personal and Professional Life is a unique self-help book that offers a roadmap to kickstart your future. Rags-to-riches author and CEO Gene Rice and his high school English teacher daughter Courtney Bejgrowicz demystify adulthood by sharing critical information alongside professional and personal successes and failures. The five sections--life, job search, career, personal finance, and health and relationships--provide real-world insights that are often overlooked in formal education. You will learn everything from how to conquer the interview process to how to get promoted; from myths about credit scores to the impact of taxes; from the power of meditation to positively impacting society; and much more. Armed with this knowledge, you will be ready to move out on your own and move up in life.
