It further categorizes these jobs within subcategories including level of activity, degree types, personality types, salary, etc. Part 2 of the book delves into the descriptions for each 175 job, i.e., how much time it takes to pursue these careers, job growth, training required, % of people who are self employed, personality types it best suits.

I definitely learned what I DON'T want to do, which I always find to be helpful. I know I don't really want to get retrained into another field. I am willing to start at the bottom, but not willing to go back to school. Then again, maybe 3-6 months of training wouldn't hurt.
wish I had had this 30 years ago - wouldn't be working a desk job today!Provides description of job, salary range/potential, educational requirement, etc. and lots of other information. Industry growth per year, number of openings per year, etc.
