Life After College is less a book than a compass.
Its also an interactive pep talk, a plan of attack
and a treasure trove of razor-sharp advice.

Introduction
THERE IS NO MANUAL FOR THE REAL WORLD. IN high school and college we have teachers, guidance counselors, and course requirements. But the minute we graduate it seems we are immediately expected to understand where to go, what to do, and how to get wherever were going nexteven when we have no clue where next is.
For the first time in many of our lives, we feel paralyzed without a defined road mapor without any clue how to create one.
This book represents the road map I pieced together along my own journey. It is a collection of my personal experiences and tips, helpful exercises and resources, as well as quotes and advice from dozens of college graduates. It is designed to help you focus on the BIG picture of your lifeyour hopes, dreams, and highest aspirations. It is a jumping-off point to help you start creating the life you really want, and will encourage you to think outside of the box as you also learn practical tools and systems to navigate through your life after college.
ABOUT MY LIFE AFTER COLLEGE
My life after college started earlyone quarter into my junior year at UCLAwhen I got the opportunity of a lifetime. I took a leave of absence from school to help start an online survey research company with my political science professor and mentor, along with four other college professors. I was the youngest employee (by at least 15 years) with very little work experience, save for a few internships I had in college.
I had tremendous responsibilities at the start-upfrom office manager to webmaster to marketing assistantand l loved the confidence I got from working hard and learning so much every day. But there were also many times I felt isolated, lonely, and lost. While I was struggling to understand health insurance, my 401(k), and how to be a good employee, my friends were still partying and taking finals. I got pangs of jealousy when I heard about how much fun they were having, and questioned whether I had made the right decision (even though I knew deep down that I had).
So I read, I researched, and I set goals for myself. I became a student of personal finance, time management, organization, productivity, business, leadership, personal growth, goal-setting, health, and happiness. I read more than 150 development-related books and took courses in all of the above.
During my second year at the start-up, I returned to UCLA for one last quarter to finish school and graduate with my class in the Spring of 2005. At that point, I felt compelled to share the many resources and tips I had accumulated with others who might be as lost as I was, so I started a website (LifeAfterCollege.org) that I turned into a blog two years later.
A shining success story, right? Except that I was about to be blindsided by my very own quarter-life crisis.
Motivated by achievementa blessing and a curse.
I have been motivated by achievement my entire life. And for the most part, it has worked very well for me. I started working full-time at the start-up company when I was 20 years old. I finished my degree from UCLA in three years with a double major and college honors.
By the time I turned 25, I had moved up the ladder at Google, completed training to be a life coach, become a manager, and tackled some of my biggest personal life goals, including running a marathon and buying a house, all while building and growing side projects like my blog and this book. And if this seems like a ridiculous list of achievements that only the foolhardy would attempt in this short period of time, you would be right. I hitno, slammed intoa wall... hard.
The quarter-life crisis knocked me off my turbospeed treadmill right on cue. As soon as I turned 25, I realized I was utterly exhausted. I didnt know how to maintain the same cycle of achievement, and I became incredibly sad and tired. I knew I couldnt maintain that frenzied pace for the rest of my life, but when I thought about stepping off the fast-track, I panicked. It absolutely terrified me because achievement was all I had ever known.
