Written in a practical, user-friendly style, this brief guide will help your students make academic and career decisions that count. The book helps students assess their interests, personality, skills, and values, and learn about the world of work in order to make effective career decisions. It first presents an overview of the current job market, then addresses the importance of career planning before addressing self exploration. The text has a good multicultural flavor and also addresses issues of alternative education.
