Now May Be A Good Time To Panic: Surviving Post-collegiate Life
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
If the cap and gown does not shock college graduates into the reality of adulthood, then maybe the pain of waking up before noon and sipping $10 martinis will. Or perhaps the eye-opener will be Jon Burgart and Jon Johnson's new book, "Now May Be a Good Time to Panic: Surviving Post-Collegiate Life".
In this irreverent, hilarious guide to life after college, Burgart and Johnson break down life in the nine-to-five world. Instead of being surrounded by 20,000 other people of the same age, graduates must learn how to negotiate their way around solemn-faced suits who brag about their mutual funds, hobbies that don't involve beer bongs and real relationships that did not start with frat-house hookups. The authors break it down into clear-cut chapters that cover all the need-to-know tips: "Jobs", "Things You Buy", "Entertainment (a.k.a. drinking)", "Hobbies" and "Relationships".
After a tongue-in-cheek outline of many prospective careers, Burgart and Johnson tackle the variety of gadgets and gizmos any self-respecting person should stretch that new paycheck to buy. Once the subwoofers and camera phones are acquired, they advise readers to get a hobby other than watching "Star-Trek" reruns. They also cover how a main college activity - drinking - transforms once the diploma is on the wall. They prepare people for how awful cheap beer will taste and describe the variety of bars available in non-college towns. The all-important relationships section, written for both men and women, offers ten commandments of post-collegiate dating for each sex and braces readers for both the responsibilities and pleasure of having a bona fide significant other.
"Now May Be a Good Time to Panic" tells the true story of life after graduation. "Just because college is over doesn't mean that the fun has to stop," the authors write. "Everything doesn't need to be taken seriously now that the working world is upon you."
And despite all of Burgart and Johnson's practical, useful advice, "Now May Be a Good Time to Panic" offers the best tip of all: Don't panic.
