About this item
From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-As teenagers prepare for college, they are also thinking about life after university. These books take a field or industry-fashion, for example-and break down several different jobs in that area. Each job has its own chapter that describes what the work entails, the education requirements, and an estimated salary range. Most importantly, though, the text includes quotes from and interviews with real people about their jobs, as well as useful details about opportunities for growth in that position. The authors strive to be as realistic as possible in their descriptions of a job's potential outlook, and every chapter concludes with a list of professional organizations and unions for more information.
