Flyer News has found just the book for the anti-job mind. "Delaying the Real World," is Colleen Kinder's answer to every college student who doesn't want to jump right into a desk job after four years of academia. —Flyer News (Read the full article)

Colleen's book isn't about how to buy a Eurail pass and have a great summer vacation. It's about how to put off the pressures of post-graduate adult life and continue your education beyond the classroom. That means traveling the world, working abroad, volunteering for causes you care about, and not caring about people busy counting their 401(k) contributions back home. Colleen makes it clear that if you plan it right, the education provided by a year spent squishing grapes barefoot on a farm in Denmark can be more illuminating than four years of papers and finals, and far more rewarding than life as a corporate drone. —Sparknotes (Read the full article)
