From Library Journal:
Pyrotechnicians "get a bang out of their job." Such is the lame humor that punctuates this directory of peculiar, but not very, occupations. Surely everyone knows a bridal consultant, a hospice worker, a blacksmith, or at least an animal trainer? Alhough the information is reliable, consisting of a brief description of duties and the job situation, with organizations or schools to contact, the careers are so arbitrarily chosen that the book can only be recommended for browsing in the unemployment office. At least it's not a rewrite of the Occupational Outlook Handbook .Barbara Carow, Morrill Memorial Lib., Norwood, Mass.
