Congrats to you for reaching this milestone . . . now GET A JOB  Remember how your parents emphasized the value of a good education, and how it will open doors to a successful and fulfilling career? Well forget it  Corporations and institutions don't care that you've studied Plato or Russian literature, they want hard-driving, bottom line, results driven workers that can tow-the-line and conform. \"Oh, The Places You Will See\" provides the reader with a dose of reality that their liberal arts college adviser never mentioned during freshman orientation.

Dimitri shares ownership (with his life partner Colleen) of a lovely wine bar\/bistro located in an historic bank building in Ladora, Iowa.
