From the back cover:
"You've been out of school a month, a year, five years. And you still don't know exactly what to say when people at parties ask, "So... what do you do?"

On solution: stop going to parties. A better solution: read this book. It's the only career guide that takes place in the real world -- a world of downsizing, dead-end jobs, and multiple career changes where there's no such thing as a "proven formula for success." How to Make Use of a Useless Degree helps you surmount the obstacles that today's roller-coaster economy and rapidly changing technology present to the job seeker. It shows how the concept of work isn't what it used to be, and how career angst can actually work to your advantage. There are frank, down-to-earth interviews with people in a wide variety of situations, sharing their success stories, failure stories, and somewhere-in-between stories. And practical tips on everything from the pros and cons of working at home, temping, and being your own boss, to the cold, hard truth about who gets hired and who doesn't. You won't find advice in this book about wearing the right power tie or measuring the margins on your resume. But what you might find is a job you can live with... or even a career you can love."

230 pages. This one has cover nudges and a bit of wear. Originally costing $13, it's worth every penny.  

What I liked best about this book is the *practical* advice it offers.  And thinking "outside the box" as they say now-a-days.  Anyway, there are a lot of opportunities to earn a living and this book will certainly spark your creativity and give you ideas on how best to proceed. Being paid for what you love to do is one of life's treasures... I'm fortunate, and you can be too. 

I'd go so far as to suggest that this book is necessary reading for all high-school and college students.  It's that good... and when mine sells, do go ahead and pay retail. You won't be sorry!
