[Shant · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sure, this topic has been solved in online articles, but it was nice reading a book for it. It's somewhat outdated, which is unfortunate as it's only been a decade that this book was published. A lot of enjoyment also depends on how much of this information you already knew before reading.

Well-organized, informed suggestions for career and grad school options. The book really shines by quoting employees, professors, students and others on the pros and cons of their respective trajectories. Likely among the best of the genre.
