Young serial entrepreneur Scott Gerber is not the product of a wealthy family or storied entrepreneurial heritage. Nor is he the outcome of a traditional business school education or a corporate executive turned entrepreneur. Rather, he is a hard-working, self-taught 26-year-old hustler, rainmaker and bootstrapper who has survived and thrived despite never having held the proverbial "real" job.
In Never Get a "Real" Job: How to Dump Your Boss, Build a Business and Not Go Broke, Gerber challenges the social conventions behind the "real" job and empowers unemployed, underemployed and entrepreneurial young people to take control of their lives and dump their nine-to-fives -- or their quest to attain them. Drawing upon case studies, experiences and observations, Scott dissects failures, shares hard-learned lessons and presents practical, affordable and systematic action steps to building, managing and marketing a successful business. The proven methodology presented in Never Get a "Real" Job teaches the unemployed, underemployed, small business owners, students and recent college graduates how to quit 9-to5s, become their own bosses and achieve financial independence.
