Maybe they have the degree they want but don't know where to start their job search. Perhaps they're still choosing a major and, given the range--from \"Biochemistry\" to \"Adventure Education\"--are lost in the options. Maybe they're facing a mountain of debt but don't want to get locked into a job they hate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e While other books might advise writing resumes or preparing for interviews, they only go so far.
