"Don't Wait Until You
Graduate! is a great guide for young people.
Volunteering as one way to get started on a career
is very valuable and reflects cutting edge thinking.
It also is a great benefit to organizations and
people who need volunteer help to operate."

"Some college
students don’t feel they have anything to
offer. We chose Don't Wait Until You Graduate!
for our Career Planning Course because it is a
quick read, and we were drawn to the concept of
"finding a need and filling it." This
book provides the confidence boost some students
need. The title is motivating and the message
is different from other resources in the fact
that it provides some realistic steps to acheiving
personal success, no matter what field one chooses.
It doesn’t show someone how to put a resume
together, it starts way before that. It is a book
that helps one see what things he or she must
do before picking up that pen."

"Finally!
Some down-to-earth advice for college students.
As a career counselor in a college setting, I
work with students who think they are employable
just because they have a degree. Never mind that
they don't have any related work experience or
even a hint of a network (a co-op or internship
would waste valuable time), and that their job
search consists of opening the Sunday paper. Don't
Wait Until You Graduate! covers what our
staff believes and discusses regularly with students,
and gives us credibility. Keith Luscher is my
hero!"

"Keith Luscher's
book Don't Wait Until You Graduate! provides
direction for college students and others as they
apply experience to their careers. He clearly
points out that community service is essential
as a 'job market tool!' I highly recommend this
book!"

"Don't
Wait Until You Graduate! empowers students
with concrete examples of methods that can be
employed right now to affect their futures. Students
will know how to have job experience before they
have jobs, will learn the secrets of networking,
will understand the values of volunteer work,
and will gain confidence that comes from the ability
to create results."
