In College Grad Seeks Future, Howard and Matthew Greene will help post-collegians to find their true calling, pursue the field that best fits their talents and passion, and utilize their unique skills to build a career efficiently and effectively. In the coming years, college graduates will have a more difficult time than ever entering the job market. Opportunities in traditional fields are shrinking as the competition increases exponentially. Despite this glaring truth, far too many post-collegians automatically consider the most visible, traditional careers - usually out of confusion, uncertainty, and peer and parental pressures. Fields like law, medicine, and banking (just to name a few) are often overpopulated, and thus extremely competitive for entry level positions. The Greenes explain to readers the highly individualistic nature of choosing a career, the interesting choices that are frequently overlooked, and the imaginative ways in which young adults can identify their goals and take the necessary steps to realize them.

Based on a groundbreaking survey of 4,000 students, The Select explores issues that provide a realistic picture of what life is like on the campuses of America's most prestigious colleges: -- personal safety, both inside and outside the campus walls -- alcohol and drug abuse and their impact on the academic community -- costs of attending college and policies toward scholarship holders -- financial stress brought on by educational loans, plus too many hours spent working to earn tuition -- lack of a structured, directed curricular plan -- teachers who, caught up in their own career advancement, often espouse their own political agenda -- an intense academic workload and competition to excel -- pressure to prepare for professional graduate school -- activism of a racial, ethnic, political, and social mix of students unimaginable thirty years ago -- living arrangements based on sexual orientation and racial, and ethnic preferences

The first practical guide of its kind that helps students transition smoothly from high school to college The transition from high school—and home—to college can be stressful. Students and parents often arrive on campus unprepared for what college is really like. Academic standards and expectations are different from high school; families aren’t present to serve as “scaffolding” for students; and first-years have to do what they call “adulting.” Nothing in the college admissions process prepares students for these new realities. As a result, first-year college students report higher stress, more mental health issues, and lower completion rates than in the past. In fact, up to one third of first-year college students will not return for their second year—and colleges are reporting an increase in underprepared first-year students. How to College is here to help. Professors Andrea Malkin Brenner and Lara Schwartz guide first-year students and their families through the transition process, during the summer after high school graduation and throughout the school year, preparing students to succeed and thrive as they transition and adapt to college. The book draws on the authors’ experience teaching, writing curricula, and designing programs for thousands of first-year college students over decades.
