“I wish Life After College had been written when I was starting out. ChaChanna Simpson has written an essential guide to “real life,” full of the kind of advice you wish your BFF could give you. I’m ordering copies for every 20-something person I know.”

Elizabeth Hilts, author of Every Freaking Day! with Rachell Ray and Getting In Touch With Your Inner Bitch

“Yes! Life after college is a culture shock! All of a sudden we are expected to have arrived so to speak, knowing all there is to know to move forward in our lives.

This book provides the coaching necessary to begin to survive in a world that is not academic and where real people need to apply to thrive.

An asset to any grad.”

Cate Cavanagh, author of Her Godmother

“Life After College: What Your Parents Never Taught Youby ChaChanna Simpson is a wealth of information for twentysomethings on how to go from college life to the real world.  In less than 150 pages Simpson manages to provide advice on moving back in with your parents, finding your first apartment, getting that first job, opening up a bank account, and so much more.  This book even covers how to set up a budget and how to protect yourself from identity theft.  There are also chapters on physical and emotional well being, how to provide for retirement, information about insurance, and how to set up a will. And all this is information is provided to the reader in a language that will be appreciated and easily understood.”

“ChaChanna Simpson has the integrity and motivation to inspire millions of young people coming right out of college, I have been impressed with her vigor, tenacity, dedication, and commitment to helping young people gain focus and knowledge for the next step in their lives..."true adulthood". Her methods are proven and tried, and her depth of knowledge can only come from one who has seen, lived, and survived it. I strongly recommend her guidance and counsel to any young person who is wondering what do next after college.”

“This book is a one-stop guide for all college graduates. It is uniquely created to give advice and advance preparation skills for life after college. I highly recommend it as a MUST READ before one graduates. It also makes a great gift for parents and family members to give as a gift to college graduates, but more importantly for them to read it themselves! I thoroughly enjoyed reading the real life experiences. This book is very informative and covers many bases. You have to read it!”

“This book is a "must-read!" It is a practical "how to guide" on all the things you need to know but never knew when you graduated college. It was an easy read guide on the steps to take to set your "adult" life on track. Many things in the book can be implemented prior to graduation. It is a wonderful gift for juniors and seniors in college but anyone who is employed should read this book! You are never too young! I have given this gift to my teenage male cousins and they have found it most helpful and informative!”

After reading Life After College, I feel much better about my situation. I especially related to the comments from other twentysomethings because it made me feel like I wasn’t alone and that my problems are not exclusive to only me, but are common issues among my peers.
