4 Stars!! This is a pretty good book for high school aged teens still not sure what they want to be when they grow up。 This book will most likely help them out a bit。 Other books like this and those aptitude tests the school gives to see what career is right for you are more helpful, in my opinion。 Those career aptitude tests are free online but this book is a good place to start。 Or if you’re interested in switching careers, you might like reading this book, it wouldn’t hurt!*I am voluntarily l 4 Stars!!
