Abstract
This paper analyses a sample of academic 'quit lit' to explore how graduate students might be better prepared for the realities of higher degree research and employment. It will pay particular attention to how graduate programs can provide realistic, transparent career advice and promote alternatives to academic (Alt-ac) employment for graduates. By considering the reasons 'quit litters' themselves give for their departure from the tertiary education sector, this investigation will be listening to the voices of those most affected by the rapidly changing face of academia.
