A unique exploration of outcomes for graduates unable to find work in their field of study. Graduates are interviewed and discuss the tolls of long-term unemployment and underemployment on their lives and physical and emotional well-being.
I am the author of ‘When Study Goes Wrong’, published in March 2015. ‘When Study Goes Wrong’ shares stories from graduates in business, law, IT, communications, nursing, and more, and considers the emotional toll of the isolation and frustration of unemployment and underemployment. Also discussed are statistics on graduate employment, as well as tips and coping mechanisms; but the real message of this timely book is to let struggling graduates know they are not alone. 'When Study Goes Wrong' is available here: http://www.amazon.com/When-Study-Goes....
I am a qualified lawyer with a Masters degree in Law and have always been passionate about writing. I have recently finished my second book, a non-fiction travel narrative focused on the lesser known areas of Greece. My book, 'A Greek Odyssey' is now available. http://www.amazon.com/A-Greek-Odyssey...
Read this to help my son make good choices. Really interesting. Well-written book that is a must for parents of children choosing tertiary education and students who want to learn more about study.
It was well-written, direct and does so much to let graduates know they aren't alone. That was the author's stated goal and she achieved it. This is an important resource for anyone considering further study, parents of future students and graduates.
It deals with hard issues and it should - people need to know it's not all a bed of roses, particularly in this economic climate and job market. It provides some much needed tips, advice and coping mechanisms. The case studies were fascinating, each different but with a common thread. All students, schools and graduates need a copy of this book.
