We use this as a reference for our home (and homeschool) library. It is THE best resource for looking up facts about various careers. My ten year old even enjoys browsing it! Over the years, this book will become more valuable for me as I make high school curriculum choices since it outlines the academic subjects essential for each professional field. By the way, the entire text is available free online, but it's so much easier to reference a book than a computer screen. This book is BIG -- like a thick phone book.
Occupational Outlook Handbook 2009
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book is an excellent overview of many possible occupations and careers. We are using it as a home school resource to encourage familiarity with many different occupations, what is entailed with each one and how one prepares for them. The book is very through and informative.
