The perfect gift for every recent college graduate to assure them that yes, the world is hard, but yes, they will be ok—as long as they didn't major in English!—from the New York Times bestselling author of There Are Moms Way Worse Than You and There Are Dads Way Worse Than You.

Following up on the success of her bestselling gift books for parents, Glenn Boozan has created the perfect antidote for the dated sincerity of Oh, The Places You'll Go in her next project. The housing market, student loans, the price of eggs, A.I. coming for all our jobs... It's no wonder college graduates are cynical about their futures. And at this point in history, they're kinda right.

Instead of sugarcoating the outlook, the book affirms the reader's worries and offers realistic wisdom and perspective for troubling times:

Madame Curie won the Nobel Prize for innovation
and still messed up by giving herself deadly radiation.

How about the 1300s, during the Black Plague?
They had slightly bigger issues than the price of eggs.

Boozan's rhymed couplets, paired with clever illustrations, make At Least You're Not an English Major the perfect gift for recent college graduates with a great sense of humour.
