A good book for those who will learn on the job

An acedemic education can be a help but is not the answer for many who can learn on the job, or can learn a trade through non-academic schools. Our history is full of such individuals who were highly successful without a degree. This book is an excellent guide to all types of jobs available to job seekers regardless of education.Wayne D.

Great Book for a High School Student

I purchased this book for my nephew, who was a HS Senior. Although he likes school, college was not for him. Like many HS Seniors, he did not know what he wanted to do, or what kind of careers he might like. I gave him the book. He read at least some of it. I was surprised to see how excited he was after looking at the book. He decided on a career path and has applied and been accepted in a Drafting program at a Vocational School. The book was well worth the excitement in his eyes. He feels focused and for the momement he has found a career for him. The book gives lots of information about careers and what it is like to be a ... He has showed the book to his friends and they seem just as thrilled with the content as he was. I think every HS junior or senior should look at this book for ideas on how to spend the rest of their life.
