Book Description

Publication Date: October 2004 | Series: Young Person's Occupational Outlook Handbook

Based on the Department of Labor's 2004–2005 "Occupational Outlook Handbook" (the most widely used career book ever), this popular guidebook is ideal for helping young people explore careers. It groups together related job descriptions, making it easy to study job options based on interests. The text stresses the connection between school subjects and needed job skills—important in school-to-career research.

* A brief description of the job
* Details on working conditions
* School subjects related to the job
* Suggested activities for "trying out" the job
* Information on earnings, education, or training needed, and employment outlook
* "Something Extra": A fun and interesting fact related to the job
