A Feast of Information,
By Rev. Guy Kent (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Testing the Waters: A Teen's Guide to Career Exploration (Paperback)
Across from Emory University, in Atlanta, there used to be a store called Horton's. Over the entry were the words: IF WE DON'T HAVE IT, YOU DON'T NEED IT! The same could be said of "Testing the Waters." Ms Culbreath and Ms Neal have compiled a veritable feast of information for the career seeking teen. "Testing the Waters" is used frequently by the young people who frequent my study. It is extensive, accurate, and a veritable atlas of the roads to a successful career. The authors have done a wonderful thing in providing this tool. I cannot recommend it enough.
