A map is a guide to unfamiliar twists and turns along unfamiliar routes. The fact that a map exists gives us reassurance that someone has been here, at this place, before--and has offered to share his/her wisdom and experiences, in detail, with those who come after. No one expects a newcomer to be magically familiar with the routes that are old hat for the locals. How, then, can we expect college students to somehow just figure out where they're going in life and how to get there--especially when we know their paths will inevitably evolve with time, experience, and exposure to new ideas? Like all of us, college students could use a reassuring, detailed map--The College to Career Road Map. The College to Career Road Map: A Four-Year Guide to Finding Your Path takes students through college year by year, spelling out the essential academic and experiential activities they should pursue to best prepare themselves for a satisfying, purposeful life after college. The book covers not only the what but also the usually overlooked (or ignored) why and how of each activity, helping students understand the complex bigger picture behind pinpointing their passions, their skills and abilities, and what matters most to them. Any professional who works with college students can use The College to Career Road Map to guide students along the challenging journey to post-college success--and encourage parental support along the way with the parent version of the book.
