Harsh Realities

I was reading an article on Washington Post about Michael Ball, author of a book about entry-level jobs. He recently published "You're Too Smart for This: Beating the 100 Big Lies About Your First Job."

People like me should have read this about a year ago. But I don't think it's all my fault, all I heard in college was how set I was because I would be graduating from an outstanding university. I guess I took this a little too far. I thought that a job would be handed to me on a silver platter, and I certainly didn't think it would be grunt work.

Entry-level + liberal arts degree = "Would you like fries with that?"
No matter where you went to school
