<p>For many students, an internship is the vital first step out of the classroom and into the professional world. It introduces the hectic and often intense workplace, it teaches vital skills, and it may lead to a first job or even a career. But most undergraduates have only the vaguest idea what an internship is, how to find a suitable and interesting one, how to apply for it, how to ace the interview, what the first day will be like, how to survive the ups and downs of the working world, and how to convert that experience into a future. In fact, the whole prospect of seeking an internship can be confusing, intimidating, or even terrifying. Molly Abrahamson, writing from the vantage point of a college senior, has written a clear, sympathetic, helpful, and even funny guide to help undergraduates through this daunting but ultimately rewarding process. Drawing on the experience of college career counselors, current undergraduates, employers and graduates who have used their internship as a springboard to greater things, she lays out the territory and steers the reader to the most exciting and scary of destinations: the real world.</p>

<p>Often hilarious, ultimately profound, Thirty Percent Chance of Enlightenment begins when Tim Brookes receives a phone call from his editor at National Geographic asking if he'd like to write an article on weather forecasting-an assignment that doesn't go as forecast. He embarks on an adventure that starts in a hurricane on an icy mountaintop in New Hampshire and takes him to India to watch the monsoon come ashore and write about the elaborate, almost mystical art of monsoon forecasting. When the rain begins, however, a series of misunderstandings finds him banned from every single office of the India Meteorological Department. Before long, his journey turns into a cross-country road trip in search of the true meaning of the monsoon-a trip that takes him through the spice villages high in the Western Ghats, to a Hindu wedding at which all the main participants end up drenched, and leaves him ankle-deep in a holy river where the temple elephants bathe. He discovers the history of the umbrella, the bizarre ritual of rain-inducing donkey weddings, and for his erratic and dusty labors, he ends up being rewarded with a glimpse into the spiritual nature of water.</p>
