Masters believes that college had a tremendous impact on his life and that' he gained many of his social and lead­ ership skills from his experience as a student. "I'm a big believer in the saying, 'You get out of it only what you put into it' ," he said. Having a love for wtiting is the main reason he decided to publish a book. He said that he wanted to wtite a book that related to important college topics because he felt this would pro­ vide more benefits to current students. "My business background is in training and consulting for sales and management, but frankly there are already 10 million books on these topics," he said. "I wanted to write something com­ pletely different and something that I have had a passion for. Every college bookstore has dozens of books on "How to Write a Resume" and "How to Get a Job," but there is much more to it than that." Masters' book is a transition book designed for juniors and seniors preparing for the real world . .. "Life After College" was pub­ lished on April 15, 2005 and copies are currently being sold on www.amazon.com and at Borders Bookstore. Books, along with copies of DVD demos of his presentation and information about rus products, can also be viewed and purchased at www.life-after-college.com. Masters said that there aJ.·e Dumer­ ous messages he hies to convey to his readers and listeners. "There are so many important trungs that can help them get ahead, such as networking, time manage­ ment, strategic career planning, etc . ... but probably the most important trungs that I tell them are what to avoid because what they don't know can hurt them," he said. "In my programs, I discuss office poli tics, professionalism, eth.ics, dtugs and alcohol in the workplace, and even the dangers of dating in the office and sexual harassment. It's imperative that young professionals understand what the rules of the game are, and abide by those rules, so they don't ruin their career before it even begins." Another piece of advice that Maste[s has given is "to think outside the box and consider non-h-aditional occupations." . He said that the best part about what he has done has been the indi­ vidual people who have approached

and. complimented him after seeinoe rus program. "I love receiving feedback and when people have told me how my program has benefited their life."
