Editorial Reviews

Motivating and inspirational, making this book more than just a career guide. . . . This unusual career resource book provides useful firsthand accounts and is definitely an interesting read, not boring like so many humdrum career books. The introduction and epilogue are helpful. . . . Worth buying if unique and engaging career resources are needed or as a supplement to standard career collection fare.
