Summary: Great Jobs for Psychology Majors
Comment: I would not recomend this book, as it does not include the inoformation that I had anticipated. I was disappointed overall and think it's safe to assume that there are better resources out there. The book included a lot of basic information, like how to write a resume/ cover letter and interviewing information. I initially purchased the book in hopes of re-examining my options in the field, since my degree is in psychology, however this was not the right resource for doing that.

Summary: An overview
Comment: Great Jobs for Psychology Majors details the breadth and extent of the evolving field of psychology. The authors, DeGalan and Lambert give a history of the development of psychology, the evolution and where we are now. It is a caustic field with controversaries, challenges and change. The book believes there will be an increasing direction of services to alleviate human suffering through both research and medical means. Also, psychology is branching into new areas of family, forensic, or the psychology of women or men which will direct the path for the future.

Summary: Interesting, but limited
Comment:
DeGalen and Lambert have produced a book that I will recommend to undergraduates, but there are problems. On p. xvii they mention that "a high proportion of members of APA do have doctorates..." Well, all do. There are some associate membership categories. D & L also say that APA members do "not necessarily [have] medical degrees." Well, few do. This sloppy phrasing raises questions about the authors' accuracy. My second general comment is that they do overlook the place of applied research for psychology majors--either at the bachelor or more frequently at the master's level.
But I will recommend it because our students do need help in thinking about careers
