This book is the most valuable book I own. Funny part is, its not even a book. Its a pamphlet on how to prepare for life before you start.

PLEASE PICK THIS UP!!!

Very useful upon graduation. Even more so because I stayed in college another year. Give this, or something like it, to every student you know at the BEGINNING of their senior year.
Absolutely essential for anyone coming out of college into the real world.
