3.0 out of 5 stars
Informative, broad, not exactly what I was looking for...,
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Careers: A Guide to the Fastest-Growing Opportunities (Paperback)
I was hoping for a book that would really go into detail of different jobs and careers. It was mainly a broad overview of the career field. For example, there was no information about a shock trauma nurse, but rather it displayed "Rn", a plain, baseline overview. A good book for the "gist" of things, but not great for extreme detail. The value of the product is fair with the price.
