Publisher Description

The scholarly discipline of Bullshit Studies has blossomed in the last several years, fertilized by a number of critical works on the subject and the growing importance of the issue. Now, bestselling author and lifelong practitioner Stanley Bing enters the field with a comprehensive look at the many attractive jobs now available to those who are serious about their bullshit and prepared to dedicate their working life to it.

Across the globe, skillful bullshit artists have secured pleasant, lucrative employment, and are enjoying themselves more than you are. In virtually every occupation, from Advertising to Yoga Franchising, lucky individuals who "work" in these coveted positions enjoy the best lives imaginable -- they are paid well, they rarely break a sweat, and their professions are highly respected, because nobody really knows what they do.

At once funny, useful, and tolerably philosophical, this groundbreaking work takes a close look at 100 bullshit jobs, which will provide the neophyte with inspiration.

Most crucially, Bing goes on to offer a clear, concise strategy to help job-seekers reach for that brass ring, knowing full well that it may be attached to the nose of a bull.

"It's all bullshit - everything - every job - bullshit ! And you can succeed at all of it. This irreverant look at the careers we hold in high regard will make you wonder why you are doing whatever it is your are doing now. Quite funny, often sarcastic. "

— John (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Wickedly satiric.” 

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Stanley Bing’s bouncy, humorous delivery helps his wisecracking ‘guide’ immensely, as he knows where all the punch lines are. Not that the material needs that much help...He...supplies...useful facts amid his excoriation of the working world...The recording quality is clean and warm, [and] the delivery [is] well timed.”
