I purchased this for my son to have at home as the school issued one is not to leave the class. It was exactly what I was looking for, was very helpful in completely the assigned on-line work, and the program is something I wish was around when I was in high school.
I found this book in one of my child's classrooms at Back to School night. I opened it up and flipped through it and thought--wow--I wish I had this when I was growing up! The questions are very precise and are geared toward helping a person understand what type of individual they are, and what type of environment they feel comfortable in so they can figure out what kind of job will make them happy in life. The book also teaches how to go about securing a future for oneself that fits in with who they are. I ordered this book asap because it is an extremely helpful tool and easy to read.
I use this book for my advisory class for high school seniors. It's insightful and helps to focus direction. The activities are fun and engaging and lend themselves to great discussion. When I first looked through this book, I thought, "hey, I could use this for my own life and career choices" and "I could use this resource in my teaching". This book is also good to learn about yourself and your personality. Great book.
This book should be well received by teens and young adults who need to reflect upon their career path (s).
It's rated this way because it helps determine the most important steps for choosing a career. I recommend this product to any teenager.
This is a great book for teens to get them started looking at their future. What's great is that even their parents find the exercises interesting and often do them themselves!
