5.0 out of 5 stars More information Than Anywhere, March 9, 2000
Since I have a number of career books in my personal library, I can attest to this as being the book that is most likely to have information you can't find elsewhere, even though some might not be useful to all. For example, the book has infomration on some not-so hot jobs, like barber, or plumber but it also has some of newer high tech jobs, as ell as traditional professions (I.e. attorneys, financial planers etc) Krantz has amassed information on the whole occupational universe, including the hardest to find. He has not just salaries, but what you can expect to earn if you are very successful in each of the 250 jobs the book profiles. The book also addresses important but overlooked aspects of each job and has a whole chapter about the various stress components of each job. Unlike other job guides, this one even informs you what kinds of companies, coworkers and peers you are likely to have fn you choose a particular occupation. One of the things I like best is the book's organization, which allows you to compare every job aspect, from salaries to weekly hours worked with all the other jobs in the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of information, December 22, 2000
By A Customer
I'm switching jobs and really appreciated all the information in this book. A friend of mine also recommended another book to me, called Finding A Career That Works For You. It helped me because at first I didn't even know what kind of job I wanted to LOOK for!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than they say!, April 24, 2001
Alright, I've read the reviews and I am now going to try to present an unbiased view. First of all, I think that this book is great! It presents an enormous amount of information in a reader friendly style. It's true that some of the jobs are pretty obscure, but there is certainly more good to this book than bad. I just wish it was longer with more jobs listed. Oh well, it still is a plenty good book to spend your money on, even if just to see what kind of income your neighbor is making!
