This is what I wrote in my annotated bibliography of Learning A Living; A Guide to Planning Your Career and Finding a Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder and Dyslexia;<p>This book tells how artists and creative people can find fulfilling employment. Both jobs that are intrinsically creative and jobs that can support an art career are covered. The author has intuitively written a book that is extremely helpful to many of us with ADD and LD. As a matter of fact, in many of her anecdotes describing herself, she sounds like someone with ADD and LD. She proposes many exercises which can help you find a great job and career. She ends with a list of jobs that work for creative people.

Eicklberry has created a guide book that offers practical insight and direction to help you identify your areas of interest and then encouragement to pursue your targetted career. For instance, to help you identify careers that match your creative impulse, she directs you to a variety of career/interest tests that you can take online for free or through a career counselor for a fee. She then provides encouragement on how to turn your interests into either a career or an afterwork hobby that will provide an outlet for your creative drive. In all, a valuable book.
