Prioleau Alexander
You Want Fries with That: A White-Collar Burnout Experiences Life at Minimum Wage
$24.95

Prioleau Alexander had had it. He was a high-powered advertising executive making the big bucks, but he’d hit the wall. He was burnt out, and his brain was fried. He wanted nothing more than to quit the rat race. So he up and did it. Now what?

With the support of a very understanding wife, Prioleau decided that he’d take on a bunch of minimum-wage jobs, and see what each day brought. He worked as a pizza deliveryman, ice cream scooper, construction worker, ER tech, fast-food jockey, and even as a cowboy on a Montana dude ranch.

You Want FriesWith That?is his laugh-out-loud account of that year.

Prioleau 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
