Giggle Towards Graduation

Want to laugh instead of snooze as you read advice for getting degree?

Buy Playing the Game: The Streetsmart Guide to Graduate School.

Instead of the usual, dry advice from a senior faculty member, this book is an irreverent take on the process of succeeding in master’s and doctoral programs.

The authors – using the pseudonyms Karl Frank and Fred Stein – provide great tips, but they cloak their sage suggestions in an obnoxious tone, with plenty of juvenile humor. The result is a side-splitting take on the secret rules for finishing graduate programs quickly.

My review of the book will give you a sense of what it offers.

As an added bonus, I’ve interviewed Frank ‘n Stein to give you a sense of their playful style.

Have a great week,
