Not every working girl dreams of clawing her way to the corner office. Instead, many of us fantasize about fleeing cubicle life for good. Despite our parents' best intentions to steer us toward more traditional careers (podiatrist, anyone?), we long to start our own sweater-knitting empire, frolic in the land of freelancing, or help those in need halfway around the world. Nevertheless, we non-traditionalists do have our bills to pay. So we do what any sensible woman would do: We get a day job. Which is precisely when those lofty aspirations can begin to atrophy. Happily,The Anti 9-to-5 Guideoffers an alternate plan. Hip, whip-smart, and laugh-out-loud funny, this practical career guide shows women weary of the corporate hamster wheel a better way to make a buck. A former wage slave herself, author Michelle Goodman gives readers reassuring, proactive advice on transitioning out of that unfulfilling day job into the self-styled career of their dreams. Whether you want to work part time, at home, outside, or overseas, this fun, girlfriend-to-girlfriend guide provides the resources you need to get the job done without going broke.Goodman, Michelle is the author of 'Anti 9 to 5 Guide Practical Career Advice for Women Who Think Outside the Cube', published 2007 under ISBN 9781580051866 and ISBN 1580051863.
