"I just graduated...now what?" I'm sure that is a question a lot of graduates ask after they complete college. They are stepping into a new world and unforeseen territory. So...what happens next?
Katherine Schwarzenegger has brought to us a collection of stories. This was not was I was expecting. I thought it was going to be some manual on how to look for, get, and keep a career. Instead I got something surprisingly different.
Can I just be honest for one second?
I was kind of disappointed in this book. Not going to sugar coat it. We all can't be pleased with things we read, or feel personally attacked because someone doesn't like what we say. Aren't we entitled to an opinion?
It is a collection of people; from celebrities to politicians. It shows their stories from where they graduated and with what major and how that stepping stone moved them into their lives they have now. A lot of them took VERY different paths than what they originally graduated with.
While that's all well and good, I could have found very similar stories with people that I know in my own community. I didn't need "famous" people to tell me how they "got famous".
I'm not saying that's bad either. Some people will feel encouraged by these stories. I just personally didn't.
**NOTE: I received this book for free from Blogging for Books in return for my honest review. All thoughts are mine.***

Quiet
Ok. I am an introvert. I know I am. I am very quiet and reserved when I am around people who do not know me.
I was really excited to read this book. Maybe it was just me, but I felt bored with it. It was very much like reading a textbook. Not something I wanted to do in my spare time at the moment while I am reading textbook after textbook. But I pressed on. And with little luck and motivation, I found it very dull and boring. I'm sorry to say, that I was not able to finish it. Maybe I will at some other time. Here's hoping, because I was so looking forward to this.
I know a lot of people had rave reviews about it. I guess I'm just not seeing what they are.
