Each detailed title presents specific opportunities in a different field, offering a job description, the necessary skills and background, working conditions, salary, and a list of resources. Education, for instance, covers positions such as early childhood educator, education administrator, library media specialist, and school counselor. Interviews with individuals in these fields add a personal touch. Strong selections for students trying to winnow down their options.
