What is Chasing Chickens : When Life After Higher Education Doesn't Go the Way You Planned about?

So, you have your PhD, the academic world's your oyster, but teaching jobs, it turns out, are as rare as pearls. Take it from someone who's been there: your disappointment, approached from a different angle, becomes opportunity. Marshaling hard-earned wisdom tempered with a gentle wit, Rachel Neff brings her own experiences to bear on the problems facing so many frustrated exiles from the groves of academe: how to turn “This wasn't the plan!” into “Why not?”Fully expecting to be Doctor or Professor Neff someday, Neff instead found herself in the company of the 66 percent of doctoral graduates—more than 35,000 a year—who cannot find a full-time, tenure-track teaching job.

Each chapter in her pilgrim's progress along an unlikely career path—whether revealing how she ended up chasing chickens on New Year's Eve or explaining what happens when a PhD becomes an executive assistant (The Devil Wears Prada with a dash of Portland plaid?
