This book does the legwork for them. From aerospace to advertising, fashion to finance, it profiles today's 50 best careers to give readers the inside scoop on the pluses and minuses of each job. Featuring advice from recruiters, the bigwigs and the young guns, JobSmarts Insider's Guide to 50 Top Career Paths answers: How do I get them to want me? (And will I want them?) Will I make coffee or decisions? Will I be working for passion or a big paycheck? Will I like my job? (Will I like my boss's job?) And much more.

AWESOME. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly about Careers !!!!!!!

I really didn't know what i wanted to do, so I picked up this bok to find out what was out there. I chose it becuase the other industry guides seemed to give an overly rosey picture of every career. This book told be everything I needed and wanted to know. Good, Bad and otherwise. Great source to get the skinny on careers. Now my only problem is to figure out which one I want to go after.

Great road map for the career clueless !

If you are considering a career change, are disenchanted with your first job or just don;t know what is out there this is a great way to learn about what opportunties are out there.
