Undergraduate students at all levels. - Choice Endorsement From Dick Bolles, author, What Color is Your Parachute?: This is a true story. I found a manuscript on my desk, with no one's name on it, so I started to read it--in the middle. I found so many really neat ideas in it, that I started to jot some down, for my personal files. This book has got some of the wisest counsel for college liberal arts students, about what to do with their training and degree, that I have ever read. Only belatedly did I discover the manuscript was a new book by an old friend of mine, Adele Scheele--one of the smartest, most caring career counselors I have ever met. Endorsement From Jolene Koester, President California State University, Northridge: Adele Scheele's book is an excellent and easy-to-read resource for college students (and their parents) on how to get the most out of their college experience. As a veteran university career center director, Scheele provides straightforward and practical advice on how students can take charge of their education, make the right connections on campus with professors and peers, and then turn that learning into the right career path. Her book is a useful guide to the college experience. Endorsement From James E. Stofan, Executive Director Alumni Affairs & Protocol University of California: Dr. Scheele's book not only demonstrates how students can maximize their educational experience but it also shows how these same strategies will lead them to success in their careers....A must read for college students. Endorsement From Randy M. Miller, Founder & CEO ReadyMinds co-author Distance Counseling: Expanding the Reach and Impact of Career Counseling: Scheele's refreshing approach in this book is inspiring and relevant for today's student....A must read for the competitive student. Endorsement From Alan Glazer, Ph.D., Stager Professor of Business Chair, Department of Business, Organizations, and Society Franklin & Marshall College: [This book] belongs on every college student's bookshelf. It's full of practical advice about transitioning from high school to college, getting the most out of one's college experience, and launching a first career. Endorsement From Millie Loeb, Director of Foundation Relations Stanford Medical Center: I'd recommend this book for everyone, my own daughter included, who wants to get the most from their college experience.
