Summary: Lots of good and unusual ideas
Comment: It's painful how quickly career books can become out of date. Switching Careers was published in 2001, but contains such howlers as:

"Anywhere in the high-tech sector looks like a good bet."

As a mind-expanding exercise, the book does an excellent job. It examines the reasons behind career-switching, suggests some fields that many of us might never have thought of (such as the clergy), and gives meaningful facts and statistics.

Just make sure to do an up-to-date reality check before taking the plunge. There is irony in the fact that many of the people purchasing this book will be looking for alternatives to exactly the field that Robert Otterbourg calls a 'good bet'.

Summary: Switching careers
Comment: Mr.Otterbourg has eloquently written a wonderful tool for all of us who contemplate a career change. It is a primer of practical advice, clearly outlining the challanges one faces in considering a particular career change, ranging from finances, time committment, impact on family and redefining established skills in a new profession. Each career move was illustrated by a profile of a person who actually succeeded in the change. These profiles offered inspiration and encouragement. My thanks to the author for writing such a valuable tool.
