Graduation is a time of tough questions whose answers we don’t—and sometimes can’t—know the day we receive our diploma. Determined to power through the uncertainty of post-gradua­tion, bestselling author Katherine Schwarzenegger embarked on a yearlong quest to gather the best guid­ance possible from more than thirty highly success­ful people working in fields like business, media, fashion, technology, sports, and philanthropy.
 
Along the way, Katherine uncovered the essential and often surprising advice they have for graduates, including answers to questions like:

• How do I find my first job in a tough economy? 
• How do I decide between a career that pays well and one that I’m passionate about?
• How do I balance work with friends, relationships, and family? 
• Should I take a “gap year” before starting  my first job?
• What should I do about my student loan debt? 
 
Drawing on the stories and real-life experi­ences of contributors such as Anderson Cooper, Eva Longoria, Blake Mycoskie of TOMS shoes, Lauren Bush Lauren, Andy Cohen, Meghan McCain, Gayle King, and more, Katherine has written the must-have guide for recent and soon-to-be gradu­ates as they prepare to seek success and fulfillment in their work, relationships, and lives.
