THERE IS LIFE AFTER COLLEGE What Parents and Students Should Know About Navigating School to Prepare for the Jobs of Tomorrow

Higher education journalist Selingo follows up his previous critical look at the changes in higher education in the 21st century (COLLEGE UNBOUND) with a critical look at and sage advice for parents and students on how to navigate these new paradigms. Narrator Patrick Lawlor's deep but soft voice delivers the prose effectively, sounding like a benevolent guidance counselor dispensing wisdom to the listener. The combination of Selingo and Lawlor works well. Selingo packs in a good amount of criticism about the shortcomings of higher education but makes a compelling case for the opportunities both within college and outside of college for youth to attain a powerful education that prepares them for a dynamic career trajectory.
