Summary: very good read
Comment: I thought this was a very interesting and informative book. It gave me a lot of information about different jobs.
As for the upset people who rated this book low, i'm sure Les rated firemen higher than nurses in stress level because some nurses work in a low stress environment in some kind of pediatric aera, giving shots to little kids, while firemen have to be ready all the time when they are on call. And as for librarians, well, reccomending a book or showing someone to a copy of Moneyball doesn't really compare in stress to making international relations decisions or having to make a precise cut with a scalpel.

Rating: 5
Summary: Better than they say!
Comment: Alright, I've read the reviews and I am now going to try to present an unbiased view. First of all, I think that this book is great! It presents an enormous amount of information in a reader friendly style. It's true that some of the jobs are pretty obscure, but there is certainly more good to this book than bad. I just wish it was longer with more jobs listed. Oh well, I still is a plenty good book to spend your money on, even if just to see what kind of income your neighbor is making!

Summary: Good, but needs updating
Comment: A good reference for those seeking a career change or just starting out. Unfortunately, two of the top ten rated jobs are computer-related. These may not be the best jobs to get into at this time. The current trend in the corporate world is to cut IT spending to the bare minimum. The apparently ideal way to do this is to outsource programming jobs to inexpensive offshore companies. Fewer computer jobs are available to Americans and those jobs are often much lower paying than they once were. I wouldn't suggest becoming a programmer. Consider taking biology classes instead.
