Reading this book proved very useful for my decisions. I picked it up a while ago and read through it while I was trying to decide what I should do in regards to science and grad school. This book's great tips, were a large influence in my chosing to go to grad school in organic chemistry.My only problem with the book was that it was somewhat lacklusterly organized. A better index or talbe of contents would be nice. Overall, if you need advice on this subject, this is a great choice.
