'Young people should by all means embrace a no-four-year-college future if that's what they want. The best manual for making this decision, in my view, is by a member of the Los Angeles Times editorial board, Karin Klein, Rethinking College: A Guide to Thriving Without a Degree.', 'Rethinking College is especially and unreservedly recommended reading for: Those who are unsure of their next education or career steps; Those looking to make a job pivot; Parents seeking guidance for their child; School counselors who want to offer their students more and better options. Rethinking College must be considered a high value core addition to personal, professional, community, and college/university library Contemporary Education/Vocational Education collections.', 'Klein's book highlights dozens of young people who found successful and fulfilling careers outside the three options typically presented in high school -- college, skilled trades or the military. . . . The book is not just about how young people find opportunities but also how they capitalize on them and grow their careers.', 'Karin Klein's Rethinking College gives readers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the future...now. This isn't a book denouncing college. This is a book that allows our imaginations to test-drive professional paths that more authentically relate to the world we live in. Real-life accounts enable us to see our futures through the lens of those exploring their 'next' through non-traditional means. Klein masterfully shares her self-assessment, laying the groundwork for readers to think more intimately about the life they live and want to pursue. A must-read for anyone aiming for their tomorrow!', 'This is the kind of book you want to give the high schooler who's not so-called college material, or who chafes against what college has to offer. It also opens a whole world of possibility for anyone who's older, with high school long behind them.', 'High school need not be a de facto pipeline to college, according to this illuminating outing from journalist Klein... The author's reconsideration of what professional success means is thought-provoking, and while readers might raise their eyebrows at some of the career paths outlined here (including social media influencing), they'll be inspired by the colorful and often fascinating interviews with those who skipped the college degree yet found fulfillment in jobs ranging from sound design to PR. It's a valuable reassessment of America's educational system.'

Synopsis
"A valuable reassessment of America's educational system." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY What if you didn't have to go to college? You may have heard that a college degree is the only path to success. But many college graduates end up mired in debt and underemployed, working jobs that don't even require a degree. The good news? There are many promising career options for those who don't want to or can't attend college. In Rethinking College , award-winning journalist Karin Klein sets out a new path for our country's students and their families. Klein examines why the traditional college-for-all model has been overhyped and is growing less relevant, then shares practical advice and real-world examples of exactly how others have succeeded without a four-year degree. Discover an abundance of alternative paths, including white-collar apprenticeships, certificate programs, entrepreneurship, creative careers, residential public-service work, and more. Klein will guide you step-by-step toward a broad range of fulfilling and well-paid careers that don't require a degree--ranging from pilots, costume designers, influencers, writers, computer programmers, corporate headhunters, film editors, and so many more. The breadth of possibilities is wider than you think! Rethinking College is perfect for: Those who are unsure of their next education or career steps. Those looking to make a job pivot. Parents seeking guidance for their child. School counselors who want to offer their students more and better options. Don't just go to college because everyone says you have to--find the path that's right for you.

- i***c (888)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaThis is a frustrated positive feedback. I am always perplexed when sellers choose to ship via an "off-brand" shipper, e.g., OSM Worldwide. This tends to delay the time it takes to get to me vs more "traditioaal" shipped, e.g., USPS, UPS, or FED-EX. This is a pretty good seller. The price was good, the shipping pretty prompt (though deliver took a bit longer than I expected), and the communication was pretty good as well.
- z***i (1163)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI recently purchased a book from this Seller, and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. The book arrived in excellent condition, exactly as described. It was packaged in a sturdy, reusable cardboard envelope using no plastic at all. Delivery was surprisingly fast, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend this Seller!Wombat, the Reluctant Hero (#364491341296)

What an awesome surprise....The book ordered was in EXCELLENT perfect condition...I have purchased new books from ebay but never has one arrived as advertised "NEW" and perfect like this one. Kudos to this seller....I am beyond impressed...certainly will be a returning customer. The price for the book was half the price of the same book from other sellers...and it was a good buy.These Tangled Threads (Biltmore) (#305994249122)
