No More Ramen was the answer to mine and my parents? prayers. I entered college at a young age meaning that I would graduate right at 20. We were always at each other?s throats about what I was and wasn?t ready for after graduation. Each year I?ve been in college, they have bought me a ?self-help? career book in an attempt to help me figure out my life. I found them to be redundant and a waste of time?until I came across No More Ramen. Finally, after all the boring books about career choices and life after college, I found one that spoke to me.
Aretakis?s book is something that most books of its kind are not: interactive. There are templates in the chapters that you can fill in or print off his website (NoMoreRamenOnline.com) in order to help you plan, more effectively, for your future. If for nothing else, you should buy the book simply for the chapter called ?I Don?t Know Jack About Money.? This chapter helps with budgets, savings, and money in general and everyone can benefit from it?not just college graduates. Each chapter discusses important issues in a friendly, helpful, and interactive way so that the reader won?t be bored. There are helpful facts like e-mail and voicemail etiquette, office-appropriate attire, time management, interview skills, and SO much more. I encourage every parent who has ever had a disagreement with their college grad about the future to buy this book for their child. I promise they?ll thank you.
