Who is the author?

Carol Eikleberry is a licensed psychologist who has worked as a career counselor for more than 20 years, both in private practice and in counseling centers at major universities. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Washington in Seattle, where she studied creativity, career development, and vocational counseling. Before becoming a psychologist, she earned a B.A. in English literature from Stanford University and then taught freshman composition for several years--so she knows from personal experience what it is like to face a competitive job market with an impractical major and to choose a new career and change direction. Dr. Eikleberry’s career guidance is so well respected that she has been included in every edition of Who’s Who in America since 2000.
