Got this for a friend's teenage kid who's starting to think about careers and college. Kid loved it. Typical DK style book with fantastic diagram and graphics. Each two-page spread details a career and attempts to outline the education, training, time commitment, and pay for each job. Will definitely get again for kids considering their future.
