Looking for something new and different to read? Here's a suggestion to get your creative juices flowing. If anyone out there has read this already, please leave a comment and let us know what you think!


Kiss off Corporate America
by Lisa Kivirist

Book Description
Kiss Off Corporate America: A Young Professional's Guide to Independence is your road map to creative self-employment, providing tangible resources, inspiration and support for creating your own entrepreneurial lifestyle. Kiss Off Corporate America is the first book to address these changing career needs of the post-boomer generation, proving tangible resources, motivation and support to explore alternatives to the 9 to 5, mainstream work force. Combining information and inspiration, the book focuses on a step-by-step process on how to bust out of a corporate environment. Case study interviews support the tangible "how-to's" with qualitative, motivating examples of the struggles and successes of others searching for a life outside the corporate track.
