You Want Fries With That
Ever fantasized about quitting your job and starting over? Prioleau Alexander did just that. Here is his laugh-out-loud funny, endearing, and humbling exploration of life at minimum wage. Alexander walked away from a lucrative career as an advertising executive, seeking a life “like that dude on Kung Fu.” Over the next year, he worked minimum-wage jobs as a pizza deliveryman, ice cream scooper, construction worker, ER tech, fast food jockey, and even cowboy on a Montana dude ranch. He reveals a side of America that is rarely seen and questions the stale white-collar notions of a deeper, more meaningful life beyond the cubicle. In You Want Fries With That? Prioleau explores life at minimum wage and proves unequivocally that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

And what could be more witless than stuffing a backpack with the essentials, flying across the world, and undertaking a pilgrimage across Spain on the Camino de Santiago?

Along the way Prioleau doggedly pursues the root source of happiness, the truths in theology, and a place serving beer. Does he find the answers he's seeking? You bet. But the answers are notwhat you'd think.

Public Administration in Perspective has been specifically crafted to give new life to public administration theory and practice by helping readers view the discipline through a variety of perspectives. Designed for the capstone course in public administration programs, as well as a fresh approach fo...

ST MEMIN NEOCLASSICAL PROF
