Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 You’re doing it wrong. But here’s the thing: you can’t go back. You can’t change your major. You can’t change your mind. This degree is a done deal and there’s no going back. I’m not going to tell you never to lie about your college plans, because it’s perfectly safe to do so. But don’t do it for the reaction, because you’ll only make yourself feel worse when the real truth comes out. If you are absolutely certain you want to go to law school, then go for it! But know that there will come a day when you look at this degree and think, I didn’t even enjoy being in college for this. You may regret this decision later—a lot. And if you are TRULY undecided, then it’s best to be honest. What if you change your mind. What if you decide to take a different major. Here’s what we can be sure of: we always regret something we didn’t do instead of something we did do. #2 The linear path still exists. The problem is that it’s the wrong path. It’s the path of the past, not the future. And if you want to be successful in the future, you have to be willing to think beyond the linear career path. -> The linear path between your major and career is an illusion. The real path is channeling the deep value of your academic and life experiences and taking them beyond traditional thinking. #3 The linear career path still exists. The problem is that it’s the wrong path. It’s the path of the past, not the future. And if you want to be successful in the future, you have to be willing to think beyond it. #4 Don’t lie about your college plans, because you’ll only make yourself feel worse when the real truth comes out.

The impolite truth nobody mentions in college commencement speeches: "Many of you have just spent four years and a small fortune studying something you will never use, and, if you do, you won't like all that much. Have a nice life." Up until now, you've had to rely on hit-and-miss methods of picking your career that lead to only 30 percent of college graduates reporting satisfaction with their careers.

In a tech-dominated world, the most needed degrees are the most surprising: the liberal arts Did you take the right classes in college? Will your major help you get the right job offers? For more than a decade, the national spotlight has focused on science and engineering as the only reliable choice for finding a successful post-grad career. Our destinies have been reduced to a caricature: learn to write computer code or end up behind a counter, pouring coffee. Quietly, though, a different path to success has been taking shape. In YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, George Anders explains the remarkable power of a liberal arts education - and the ways it can open the door to thousands of cutting-edge jobs every week. The key insight: curiosity, creativity, and empathy aren't unruly traits that must be reined in. You can be yourself, as an English major, and thrive in sales. You can segue from anthropology into the booming new field of user research; from classics into management consulting, and from philosophy into high-stakes investing. At any stage of your career, you can bring a humanist's grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. And if you know how to attack the job market, your opportunities will be vast. In this book, you will learn why resume-writing is fading in importance and why "telling your story" is taking its place. You will learn how to create jobs that don't exist yet, and to translate your campus achievements into a new style of expression that will make employers' eyes light up. You will discover why people who start in eccentric first jobs - and then make their own luck - so often race ahead of peers whose post-college hunt focuses only on security and starting pay. You will be ready for anything.
