"Most of the 2.5 million graduate students in the U.S. are in programs designed for a career in academics. But the unspoken truth is that less than five percent will realize their dream of becoming a professor. The rest have little idea how to begin making a living in the business world. Life After Grad School is for students in all academic disciplines, with or without a Ph. D. This book illuminates the transition from academia to a satisfying and well-paying job with a company, government agency, or not-for-profit organization."--Publisher's description.
