520    "At its heart, this book is about addressing the college-
       choosing problem. It is about helping people make better, 
       more satisfying choices. The rankings, metrics, analytics,
       college visits, and advice that we use today to help us 
       make these decisions are out of step with the progress 
       individual students are trying to make. They don't give 
       students and families the information and context they 
       need to make such a high-stakes decision about whether and
       where to get an education. This book seeks to strip away 
       the noise to help us understand what's driving us and what
       we are trying to accomplish as individuals to help us make
       better choices. The research in this book illustrates that
       choosing a college is complicated. By constructing mini-
       documentaries of how more than 100 students chose over 200
       different postsecondary educational experiences, the 
       authors explore the motivations for how and why people 
       make the decisions that they do at a much deeper, causal 
       level. The authors will help readers understand not what 
       job students want out of college, but what "Job" students 
       were hiring college to do for them. By understanding these
       motivations through what we call the "Jobs to be Done" 
       theory, the authors have been able to piece together five 
       different Jobs for which students hire postsecondary 
       education. Accordingly, from these Jobs, readers will 
       understand the set of experiences necessary to help them 
       get a particular Job done well, offer them guidance for 
       how to frame the decision before them, and allow them to 
       see their true set of desirable options. The stakes and 
       risk of making decisions about postsecondary education 
       have soared to the point where it can be hard to recover 
       from a bad choice, but our process for choosing has stayed
       the same. This book aims to change that by preparing 
       students and families to make the decision about their 
       education with greater precision than ever before"--
