Summary: A totally wrong approach to choosing a career
Comment: I think Field's list of "growth fields" is accurate, so the book is a valuable resource for this reason. On the other hand, if you're young and unsure what career to choose, the absolutely WORST thing you can do is sit down with this book and say "Well, I'm good at x, y, and z, and p and q are growth fields, so therefore I should be a ... " You may (as I did) end up in a job you do moderately well, but hate! You'll do far better to start by asking yourself, "What do I value the most?" and "What do I most enjoy doing?" -- and then ask yourself "How can I make this into a job?"
Books like this always remind me of the scene in "The Graduate" where a helpful elder takes Dustin Hoffman aside and tells him he has one word of advice for him: "Plastics!!" Barbara Sher's books are a great antidote.

Summary: GREAT BOOK IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS ABOUT CAREERS
Comment: I buy all of Field's career books. This one in particular is good if you're looking for a specific career to get into. It tells you everything you need to know and gives you options you probably wouldn't have thought of. As one of the other reviewers mentioned, I too, went to Field's web site as listed in the book. I had a couple of questions about getting the job I wanted. I too, e-mailed her and she answered right away.

Summary: Something wrong?
Comment: Why are there three, five star reviews from a person called Jillian.
