Yeah right sure, I guess it all depends if you agree with the writer's idea of how to make a some kind of difference. Read better topics on this.

[Becky · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an unexpectedly good read for me. It tread lightly on well-worn career-counseling topics like skills, interest, and values identification and exploration, while spanning beyond these traditional boundaries into territory often covered by creativity manuals.

[Ray Charbonneau · Rating 2 out of 5]

OK, I guess, if you agree with the author's idea of how to make a difference.
