This is the most astoundingly useless career planning book I have ever seen. The portion of the book dedicated to help you choose your career type is ridiculous. You get the option of identifying with 11 jobs from which all the rest are derived. Then she goes on to "describe" jobs. Each job gets a one paragraph explanation along with training and earning information. The training information tells you stuff like "you'll need acting ability" in order to become an actor or the trade secret of physicians - they have to go to medical school! Her information on compensation typically says "you'll be paid a salary" , "you'll be paid a fee" , or "your income is generated from what you charge for your work." My heart goes out to those who need to spend $14 for this sort of advice. The only surprise in the book was under the job description of "Cruise Ship Featured Guest" which could be "an attractive single man who will dance with a variety of female guests." Now there's a job to make your parents proud

Wow, this is one of the most useless "books" I have ever read. Based on the title, one would expect some sort of insight into a career search. I found this book to be no help at all. It looks like the author lifted a few job ideas from the government job handbook and wrote a bad Clif's Notes for them. If you want guidance, please do not waste your time and money on this drivel. I agree with the previous reviewer.... I feel sorry for anyone that actually paid for this book.

This book is a total waste of money; it is only useful for lighting up the BBQ. The only one to make (plenty?)of money out of this book is the writer. Do not be discouraged by the title!. This is not a serious book.
