Good book.,

This review is from: Careers with Horses: The Comprehensive Guide to Finding Your Dream Job (Paperback)
This is for my daughter who needs some career direction. It is helpful regarding education, who to contact, and expected salary.
My daughter aspires to be a mounted police officer; this particular career description is very vague. The book just suggests that interested parties contact the local law enforcement agency for details <augh!>. Even though it lacked info regarding mounted police officer, just about all other imaginable careers are listed and described.

I'm a college student with a passion for art and horses. This book has really helped me in finding a way to have a career that involves both. It also has additional sources for information, internships, etc.

This review is from: Careers with Horses: The Comprehensive Guide to Finding Your Dream Job (Paperback)
I bought this book for my teenage horse campers to use so explore all the career options that are out there related to horses. There are so many more than any of them have thought of before. But for some reason every time I open it, I open straight to rodeo clown.
