I need some good career-development or finance-related book recommendations

What certifications can I earn to increase my market value coming out of college?

I’m just trying really hard to get over 50K in Indianapolis (I sincerely can’t afford to accept anything lower) and being a new grad seems to REALLY be working against me no matter what I do. Help :(

What are your book recommendations?
