Thinking of leaving academia? Or have you already started inching toward the exit? In this volume, 14 former graduate students, adjuncts, and tenure-track professors tell their personal stories about leaving academia, rediscovering their lives in the "real world," and finding new jobs and careers.

The essays are full of personal stories, memories, and frank discussions about the complex feelings and emotions that each author went through as they decided to leave and ultimately transitioned out of the Ivory Tower.

While the journeys that are recounted were never easy, none of the authors express any regret over having left. The essays are hopeful, funny, encouraging, and full of advice for readers who are considering making the same leap out of academia.
