This book is a bit dated (20 years now!), but its lessons are still useful. Use this as a primer on what to expect from the process of moving from grad student to faculty and also on what to do and what not to do to be successful at each stage. Essentially, the minute details may change due to time and place, but the overall strategies to plan for the future and also to figure out what you want and don't want are still relevant.

Another good guidebook for aspiring professors. It'll show you all the crap that you have to put up with as an academic, and hopefully convince you to get a real job.
This book is a must read for people who wants to be a professor. This book is also very useful for those Ph.D. student because by reading this book, you will understand the rule in academic world and you will understand your advisor better.
A great read for anyone considering gradate school and beyond. This book not only addresses what one should be doing to prepare for the future at any stage but also looks in depth into the many challenges and rewards of academia.
Good book for those considering an academic career.
Helpful information for those primarily pursuing a career in academia. Industry is presented as a backup plan.
