I tried to make the book interesting through writing in first person and providing real life examples.

There are some rare books that have it all. Katherine Berntzen's "In Pursuit Of My Success" fits that description. This is a book for all high school juniors and seniors and college students who want to plan their life. It is rare that a book seriously talks to teenagers about lifelong financial planning. Usually a person doesn't learn about financial planning until they are desperate for money and of course then it is too late. The earlier young adults learn about planning ahead the more successful they will be. The book takes the teen on a well constructed journey that moves through different age and school compatible roads of life. The first road is high school and the various aspects of activities, grades, work experience and picking a college. Once the teen is in college there is another road Ms. Berntzen constructs of college, careers, networking, resumes along with college work experience. The last roads are learning about life and financial planning. The book even contains worksheets that are relevant to college, career and money. In other words should teenagers be mature enough to plan for the future this is the book that Ms. Berntzen has composed for the committed teenager. The book is an exercise in reality and is not kid stuff. Not every teenager will want or understand the book but those who are ambitious and truly motivated will learn a lot about life. I recommend "In Pursuit Of My Success" for those teenagers whether in high school or college who have taken the next step in life and decided they are ready to seek success.
This book truly teaches, 'how to be good with money,' just as the author claims. It takes the reader to a level of understanding about money and finances that many people never reach. Ms. Berntzen gently guides the reader so that all questions about money and finance are answered and understood completely. She teaches how to figure things out and gives the reader a needed skill that will serve them well for their whole life.Besides teaching teens to understand all financial transactions, Ms. Berntzen shows how to determine what career to choose, when to apply to college and gives scholarship information. She also gives great information about how to get a job.This book is easy to understand and each subject is given in a step-by-step format, using worksheets so the reader can apply their own information. This is an outstanding book which will give everyone who reads it an edge. It really prepares everyone for real life.
Should be required ,reading for every college-bound Senior....no nonsense guide for older teens. Common Sense in a compact, easy read.
