5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent overview of a variety of jobs, July 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 100 Jobs in the Environment (Paperback)

The format of this book is wonderful: each left page lists a job, duties, salary, prospects, education needed, etc.; each right page tells the story of someone who has this job - how they got it, what they do all day, where they see themselves going. The information isn't in-depth, but it's certainly complete enough to help you decide whether to further investigate a career. I definitely plan to look at other "100 jobs" books for guidance as I try to figure out what I want to do!

100 Jobs in the Environment has given me a knew perspective on my career choices. As a college student my self and fellow classmates have used this this book to guide our environmental careers. The author has given the reader clear career discriptions and interveiws with successful environmental profesionals. With each discription of a profesion is information on where to get education and training on some of the newest enviromental jobs in the country. This book is so well liked by my teachers and fellow students that I had to put my name on it.
