On My Own: The Ultimate How-To Guide for Young Adults [With CD-ROM]

Older readers will appreciate On My Own: The Ultimate How-To Guide for Young Adults by Sally Taylor, which provides information about moving out (budget considerations, assessing a roommate, etc.), managing money, landing a job, choosing a college and more. Essential questions (e.g., ""How do I find an apartment?""; ""How do I write a resume?"") lead the way; later chapters focus on relationships, mental health and personal safety. There's even a section devoted to understanding the U.S. government (""What is the Electoral College?""). Quizzes that open each chapter help readers to get a realistic picture of their situation. An interactive CD-ROM is included.
