School Library Journal Review

YA If this book has a ``message,'' it is the fact that students are not locked into any specific career as a result of their college major. This point is confirmed in the 15-year research conducted with college graduates and the jobs they found, some of which were totally unrelated to their college major. The book is spiced with interesting quotes and is enjoyable as well as informative. Well-organized and easy to follow, the book could be used as an excellent cross reference with other career materials found in most high-school career collections. Students will find most helpful the listing of character traits with examples of people in those occupations. A firefighter, for example, is found to be ``Realistic first, enterprising second and investigative third.'' Heartily recommended for high-school libraries and/or career centers.
