Fine advice and a workable approach for career planning for teens
Planning ahead is a tough process for any teenager, especially during this timeframe when schooling is pandemic-fragile. Deciding on what career to embrace is at times fraught with anxiety, tenuous expectations, and frustration. This little book is a fine resource for teens (and parents and grandparents whose advice needs updating) for aiding the process of making career choices. In an easily accessible manner, the author addresses the importance of self assessment, questioning many career concepts, seeking advice from others (coaches, teachers, family), electing to attend career fairs (including assorted important question to ask employers present), researching in-demand careers and narrowing down options, exploring levels of education required, trade schools and apprenticeships – each category is well described and becomes ‘employable’ in making that important decision as to what career to select successfully. ‘Start with the end in mind. This way you can move backward to determine each step or mini-goal you need to accomplish to reach your end goal.’ Recommended for teens – and “advisors”!

3 stars may not be fair cause my kid wont read it
I gave it 3 stars because I couldn't get my kid to read more than the first few pages. That might not be a reflection on the book but we know that eliminates it from being 5 stars and if he had read at least part of it other than what was required it would be at least 4 stars but that didn't happen either. From what I read it seams straight forward and well intentioned. Most all of which I know at this point in my life as an adult but a teen ager could gleam a fair bit from this if they take the time to read it. However, if they were the type that really applies themselves they would be way ahead of this and this book would likely be unnecessary which brings us back to it's ability or lack there of to engage those that need it and my 3 star rating.
