Summary: Insight into and Understanding of the Creative Job World
Comment: I highly recommend this book to any person who has even a sliver of creativity and feels that there must be something else out there besides the typical 9 to 5 drugery. Good news, there is! Carol Eikleberry's book is not a "Follow these 5 steps to obtain your perfect job" guidebook. What is does offer, however, is an overwhelming amount of promising insight, advice, and support for creative people uncertain of their career future. From an analysis of the creative personality in the workplace to real life examples of those who have made it, this book delivers hope to the weary and gives us the tools to begin on our career journey. It is The Career "Bible" for unconventional people!

Summary: This book will help people with learning disabilities
Comment: I took a different tack than most people who reviewed this book already; I reviewed the book for people with learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, and dyslexia who are often creative and unconventional. This is what I wrote in my annotated bibliography of Learning A Living; A Guide to Planning Your Career and Finding a Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder and Dyslexia;
This book tells how artists and creative people can find fulfilling employment. Both jobs that are intrinsically creative and jobs that can support an art career are covered. The author has intuitively written a book that is extremely helpful to many of us with ADD and LD. As a matter of fact, in many of her anecdotes describing herself, she sounds like someone with ADD and LD. She proposes many exercises which can help you find a great job and career. She ends with a list of jobs that work for creative people.

Summary: A Great Idea Poorly Executed
Comment: I thought this book would be so helpful to me, an artist looking for a tolerable day job while I continue to pursue my career. Unfortunately, it was quite a disappointment. I took the quiz and it identified me as a type which I honestly don't agree with. Most of the recommended jobs were neither interesting nor creative. The rest were impossibly out of reach, such as symphony conductor or State Director of Natural Resources (I mean come on - there are only 50 in the nation and they are political appointees). The last straw was when it recommended my current position - a job in which I am slowly dying from lack of stimulation.
