you" and "I got AIDS through oral" is "It gets better." Well, a

you: where there's a Willam, there's a way. But this isn't all
about me (for once). It's about you and how you can Suck Less at a

dignified act of larceny. Super-important life stuff with my own
special, secret fag- swag sauce. So welcome to Willam's School of
Bitchcraft and Wiggotry. Class is in session. With a foreword from
Neil Patrick Harris.

Not every PhD becomes a professor. Some never want to, but others
discover-too late and ill-prepared to look elsewhere-that there's
precious little room in today's ivory tower, and what's there might
not be a good fit. For those leaving academia, or wanting out, or
finding themselves adrift, this book offers hope, advice, and a
bracing look at how others facing the same quandary have made
careers outside of the academy work. All of the authors in this
volume, as well as the editors, have built successful careers
beyond the groves of academia-as freelance editors and writers,
consultants and lecturers, librarians, realtors, and
entrepreneurs-and each has a compelling story to tell. Their
accounts afford readers a firsthand view of what it takes to
transition from professor to professional. They also give plenty of
practical advice, along with hard-won insights into what making a
move beyond the academy might entail-emotionally, intellectually,
and, not least, financially. Imparting what they wish they'd known
during their PhDs, these writers aim to spare those who follow in
their uncertain footsteps. Together their essays point the way out
of the "tenure track or bust" mindset and toward a world of
different but no less rewarding possibilities.
