“Alexander’s comic tales of quitting the rat race to find meaning have a deep lesson for all of us—get back in that race and run like hell!” (Stephen Colbert)   Have you dreamed about quitting your job and starting over? Well, Prioleau Alexander lived that dream . . . just long enough to realize it’s a nightmare. This is his laugh-out-loud funny, endearing, and humbling exploration of life at minimum wage.   Alexander walked away from a lucrative career as an advertising executive, seeking a life “like that dude on Kung Fu.” Over the next year, he worked minimum-wage jobs as a pizza deliveryman, ice cream scooper, construction worker, ER tech, fast food jockey, and even cowboy on a Montana dude ranch, revealing a side of America that is rarely seen, and questioning the stale white-collar tropes of a deeper, more meaningful life beyond the cubicle.   In a “provocative and stimulating” take on how the “other” other half lives, Prioleau explores life at minimum wage and proves unequivocally that the grass is not always greener on the other side (New York Journal of Books). “Alexander takes you inside worlds you never imagined and would never want to go to, and does it with wit, style, and compassion.” —Pat Conroy, New York Times–bestselling author of The Water Is Wide   Digital Content>E-books>Biography>Memoir Other>Memoir Other, Skyhorse Publishing Digital >16<
