What Color Is Your Parachute? for College: Pave Your Path from Major to Meaningful Work

I gave this to my son as part of his high school graduation gift. He's been plowing through it and really learning a lot about how to conduct his college years.

I am the author of Careers for Dummies. I was honored to receive a review copy of What Color is Your Parachute for College. Even though my book is also aimed primarily at college students and recent grads, net, I believe that if I had to recommend one, it would be What Color is Your Parachute for College. Why? Very strong sections on social media, keywords, and solid throughout: from landing an internship to prepping for graduate school, to budgeting. A major achievement.

I bought my first copy of "What Color Is Your Parachute?", when I was in college over 25 years ago! I love this series! I bought this one for my son. He's using the activities in the book to help determine his major and what careers he's interested in.
