Summary

This is a book for anyone who still isn't sure how to answer the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" no matter how old you are. Think of it as part memoir and part career how-to with a big 'ol heaping of humor told in five parts:
?
• Eating Sh!t (working in customer service)
• Studying Hard (working through college)
• Flying Solo (working as a freelancer)
• Teaming Up (working with business partners)
• $elling Out (working in corporate America)

In the following pages, you'll find strange stories that range from the mundane (bagging groceries in suburban hell) to the insane (firing God as a freelance client) and everything in between. But that's not all! At the end of each story, I've made things easier by including mistakes I made, lessons I learned, and questions that you can ask yourself to (hopefully) help you create a career that sucks less. Buckle up, because you're about to learn what it looks like when you fumble forward through a career and live to tell the tale.
