2.0 out of 5 stars The salary references are a joke, October 29, 2010

This review is from: Best Jobs for the 21st Century (Paperback)

When was this book written? In the 70's? I clicked "view inside this book". Since the salary information they give is so ridiculous I knew no other information could be accurate. I would imagine the salaries would have double, sometimes triple of what they show.
