Customer Reviews

It answered all of my questions!

As a teenager with no real sense of exactly what I want to do with my life, or how to get where I'm going, this book was a great help. It gives you ideas on how to find the career that's right for you, how to establish contacts, and how to become successful in general. I would recommend it to anyone!

A Teen's View

This book, though easy to read and not very long, contains some of the most incredible things I have ever read. The ideas are so simple, yet they leave quite an impact. Making contacts, trying out jobs, and thinking about what you really want to be are just some of the things Foster covers in this great book. Buy it for your kids, your grandkids, or any young adult you know because this book will help them throughout the rest of their lives!

Teenagers Preparing for the Real World

This book is a MUST READ for all teenagers. The book is very easy reading and full of interesting stories about famous people. It has changed my sons life. It has given him direction to pursue what he would really like to do. I'm so glad someone has finally realized that teenagers need more than just education to make in the real world. Way to go, Chad!

Don't Let the Title Fool You!

I am a public high school teacher who has used this book in my classes. Yet, do not let the title of this book fool you. This is a book that gives advice on how to make yourself successful in the real world no matter what your age. I have incorporated the strategies from this book into my own life and career. It really can be used by everyone, for teenagers to discuss success in the future and adults to discuss what to do to make themselves successful right now. I have students who hate to return the book and have asked me how to get one to keep forever. I have ordered the book for my own brother, a college senior to help in his budding career. This book had more an effect on how I act in my career than any other!

Must Read!!!

I hate to read, but once i began reading this book, i could not put it down. It is a definate must read for anyone of any age.
