College students graduating this month are entering a still-precarious job market. Bill Shapiro's advice to them: Aim high; who cares if you get rejected? Shapiro knows the sting of rejection better than most -- he is a collector of rejection letters. His trove includes a 1956 "thanks, but no thanks" from the Museum of Modern Art to Andy Warhol and a 1962 write-off of Jimi Hendrix by the U.S. Army, deriding him for being unable to "carry on an intelligent conversation." Shapiro joins guest host Tony Cox to talk about the value of rejection, and his new book, Other People's Rejection Letters.
