Perfect for graduates going off to college or work, or anyone who is still looking for a career that satisfies their soul. Oates Thomas P. Author : Thomas P.

But she knew her man: a famously thoughtful and broad-minded player, he was intrigued by her pitch that she wasn't interested in making money so much as learning about life.
