THE CAREER CHRONICLES: AN INSIDER’S GUIDE TO WHAT JOBS ARE REALLY LIKE offers professional opinions and assessments on jobs from over seven hundred professionals. These reflections offer candid assessments of two dozen popular professions, contrasting reality with ideas of the job, including reviews of each profession, its requirements and its duties, and offering college students an excellent opportunity to make better informed decisions on their career choices.
This book is ok for a reference. I think much of the info can easily be found online. Good for HS Grads trying to pick a major.
During the last year of high school, the most common question is “what are you going to do with your life”. Somehow, within the span of a few months, you are supposed to figure out who you are and what career you’ll have for the rest of your life. It’s no wonder that many people go to college and change their majors several times.
Unfortunately, an even bigger surprise awaits the new college graduate. After studying for years, they come to grips with the reality of working. Often what is taught in school doesn’t ready the student for the job.
The Career Chronicles takes a unique approach. The author has interviewed a number of professionals in a variety of popular occupations and asked the things that we all wish we could have asked before committing to a four year degree program. Information includes employment levels, academic requirements, average salary levels, college vs reality, the biggest surprise, hours and advancement, how they spend a typical day, and whether they’d do it all over again.
This book offers an excellent description of a broad array of professions. I was amazed at how honest the comments were from those that participated in the book as well as the excellent detail regarding requirements for each profession. This book would be perfect for the senior graduating from high school or the college student who is trying to decide which major to declare. I highly recommend this book.
I was really interested in this book after reading the other reviews. I am an educator and am always looking for books that can help students or their parents. When I read this book, I quickly realized the importance that this book serves to those graduating from high school or those looking for a new career. There is so much valuable and rich information for each career. Of course, I had to flip directly to the education portion of the book to see what it had to say. After reading it, I realized how easy my first two years of teaching would have been if I knew this information beforehand. I HIGHLY recommend this book.
