From Booklist:

Meet Caroline Greeley, a very attractive movie marketer who, despite the industry's glamour, was very uncomfortable in her job. This individual (and others) from the business career front has psychologists Butler and Waldroop to thank, since the authors developed a remarkable series of guides to help the lost and confused find their way in the workday world. Expect more specific advice than what is proffered in What Color Is Your Parachute? or by highly paid (and unregulated) career counselors. The authors' unique eight-profile "Business Career Interest Inventory" (included in disk format) and active imagination exercises constitute a breakthrough in the job-counseling field. Explanations and case histories abound, as do realistic appraisals of how Americans are seduced by a career's different "siren songs" --i.e., money and status, extreme expectations, etc. This book travels beyond the all-too-common complaint--Why do bad jobs happen to good people?--in recognizing that work satisfaction would otherwise occur only by serendipity.
