Katherine Schwarzenegger
Katherine Schwarzenegger has stepped out of the shadows of her famous parents, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and into the spotlight.

As Katherine finds her own way, she advises other 20-somethings fresh out of college to pursue their passion so it never really feels like work. Katherine's book, "I Just Graduated…Now What?," is available now. Follow her on Twitter
