Making College Count - Edition 2

I've got several copies of this book on hand to give as gifts this year. I gave it as a Christmas gift to my son who's currently a freshman in college and he read it in one evening. He loved it and started immediately making changes by giving more thought to the types of jobs he could get with his major, joining activities to gain experiences that employers would be looking for, and behaving in a way that told me he's now serious about his future. Any parent would love to have his or her student read this book! Pat writes in a way that's very engaging to the reader - parents and students alike. I really enjoyed it, too!
