The authors 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), theyll 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. Its a valuable reassessment of Americas educational system. * — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *Karin Kleins Rethinking College gives readers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the future...now. This isnt 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! * — DR. ROD BERGER, HOST OF ON BALANCE *Kleins 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. * THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION *This is the kind of book you want to give the high schooler whos not so-called college material, or who chafes against what college has to offer. It also opens a whole world of possibility for anyone whos older, with high school long behind them. * BOOKWORM SEZ * Details ISBN1400334470 Pages 256 Publisher HarperCollins Focus Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781400334476 Format Hardcover Imprint Harper Horizon Subtitle A Guide to Thriving Without a Degree Country of Publication United States Alternative 9781400334483 Audience General ISBN-10 1400334470 Author Karin Klein Publication Date 2024-09-26 US Release Date 2024-09-26 UK Release Date 2024-08-29 DEWEY 374 NZ Release Date 2025-03-04 AU Release Date 2025-03-04 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
