Majoring in the Rest of Your Life: Career Secrets for College Students

by Carol Carter

Majoring in the Rest of Your Life is a practical strategy to get you from your first semester freshman year to your first job. Courses are not the only place to learn in college, and Majoring in the Rest of Your Life shows you how to make the most of your opportunities to discover what you enjoy doing, get practical experience, and meet people. Beginning with her own less than stellar high school career, Carol Carter takes you through the steps to life success. She tells you how to balance your studies with campus activities, part-time work, summer or winter internships, and travel. She explains how to network, write a perfect resume, prepare for interviews, and even how to negotiate a higher salary once you are offered the job of your dreams. Carol Carter writes in an informal, personal, and often very funny style, and she has spoken to people in a wide range of professions who share their experiences, both good and bad, in school and on the job. This updated edition features a new chapter on practical concerns for students living on their own for the first time, including how to handle their money and credit cards.
