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 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 on a shoestring budget.

The proven, no b.s. methodology presented in Never Get a "Real" Job teaches unemployed and underemployed Gen Yers, small business owners, students and recent college graduates how to quit 9-to-5s, become their own bosses and achieve financial independence.
