Kaplan Good Student Trap

This is a thoughtful, energetic companion to college. College is a huge investment. I absolutely recommend this to students, would-be students, and parents of students, to ensure they get their money's worth.

This book is a must read for any college student or college bound high school student. The book contains strategies and suggestions for success while in schoool that will lead to success in the world of work. The information presented will help students prioratize the activities and events of their college and university years that will ultimatly lead to higher grades, a more enriched experience in the University, and career success. Many researchers have documented a relationship between happiness on the "job" and happiness and contentment in lifeMuch of the information is what we assume all good parents will share with their children. However, my experience as a college professor and mentor to many students is that this information is not being passed on effectively. Even the best parents could not come up with all of these "pointers". Dr. Scheele shares her experiences with students she has encountered in her position in the career center of a large University.This bok would make a great gift to the graduating senior or to any young adult looking for some common sense quidance to help launch them into the world of work. It will be on my list of "gifts for the graduate" Allen Martin, Ph.D., Coordinator, Consumer Affairs, California State University, Northridge
