Thanks for the reminder! I had this book when I was going between college and university. I didn't read it all and ended up giving it to a friend of mine who was going through a tougher time than I was at the time. I do have What Next? by Barbara Moses that I've yet to read. I got this one when I wasn't sure what to do after university. I haven't read enough of this one either. I think maybe it's about time to read them both. Thanks.
