Publisher's Summary

Being a working adult never gets any easier. 

Chicago radio personality James VanOsdol was once told by an employer, "You haven't earned the right to have fun yet". It was a statement about his status in the company that came to symbolize the more dramatic soul-crushing aspects of the modern workplace.

In this funny, accidentally motivational, and highly listenable new book, VanOsdol recounts his own successes and failures in the job market, stopping along the way to share mood-appropriate playlists to run on your streaming platform of choice.

From job interviews that involved complex math problems to interviewing with hiring managers fresh out of college, there's a chance you may recognize your own situation in You Haven't Earned the Right to Have Fun Yet.
