Graduate schools churn out tens of thousands of Ph.D.âs and M.A.âs every year. Half of all college courses are taught by adjunct faculty. The chances of an academic landing a tenure-track job seem only to shrink as student loan and credit card debts grow. Whatâs a frustrated would-be scholar to do? Can he really leave academia? Can a non-academic job really be rewardingâ"and will anyone want to hire a grad-school refugee?
With âSo What Are You Going to Do with That?â Susan Basalla and Maggie Debeliusâ"Ph.D.âs themselvesâ"answer all those questions with a resounding âYes!â A witty, accessible guide full of concrete advice for anyone contemplating the jump from scholarship to the outside world, âSo What Are You Going to Do with That?â covers topics ranging from career counseling to interview etiquette to translating skills learned in the academy into terms an employer can understand and appreciate. Packed with examples and stories from real people who have successfully made this dauntingâ"but potentially rewardingâ" transition, and written with a deep understanding of both the joys and difficulties of the academic life, this fully revised and up-to-date edition will be indispensable for any graduate student or professor who has ever glanced at her CV, flipped through the want ads, and wondered, âWhat if?â

âI will absolutely be recommending this book to our graduate students exploring their career optionsâ"Iâd love to see it on the coffee tables in department lounges!ââ"Robin B. Wagner, former associate director for graduate career services, University of Chicago
