You just graduated from college, where you worked very hard to acquire a technical degree, be it information technology, biology, physics, engineering, or something else. You may also now be entering the workforce with significant debt. A recent estimate made by the government suggests that the average debt for graduating students today is nearly $30,000. This is a huge burden given a slowly growing economy and wage stagnation. Your first priority is finding a decent paying job that can lead to a financially successful career. None of the courses you took prepared you for a career in industrial R&D. Such a course simply does not exist. Wouldn't an easy-to-read handbook to help you launch and advance your tech career be nice? Well, this is it.
