4.0 out of 5 stars A good guide., December 11, 2007

The Careers in... franchise is a good series of books, and this one is no exception. I've picked up a few other ones, and can say this one is more useful for a mid career exporer than some of the others because it seems to focus less on entering and actual college students. The references in the back will help those at various points on their exploration and pursuit of an accounting career.
