WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS?

A no-BS directory of more than fifty cool careers.

A book that explains, in detail, what each job really entails -- and then tells you what you need to do to actually get it.

A book for people searching for the right job. Don’t panic; you will not end up a hobo or pharmaceutical test subject.


AND HOW THE HELL WILL IT HELP ME?

Each chapter is based on insider knowledge gleaned from interviews with the cream of the crop in their fields--experts like Kate Spade on fashion design; Nicola Kraus, The Nanny Diaries, on being an author; Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, Little Miss Sunshine, and Eli Roth, Hostel, on directing films… and many more.

You’ll get answers to burning career questions such as:

What will I actually do all day?
Do I have to wear a suit and pointy shoes?
How do I even get my foot in the door?
What should I say on the interview?
What are the pros and cons of this job?
Will I be able to afford a yacht?

By the end of each chapter, you’ll know exactly what each career is, whether you want to pursue it, and exactly what it’s going to take to get it.

Over fifty different jobs are detailed, including:

Blogger
Chef
Event Planner
Investment Banker
Magazine Writer

Video Game Developer
Wardrobe Stylist

And many more…

3 out of 5 starsGood, but not great, 2008-08-01
I was expecting this to be a lot more in-depth than it actually was. Though it profiled a lot of careers, so many classic ones were missing (lawyer and doctor for example). While it was nice to get an example schedule and salary, I wish there were more tips for achieving the jobs examined.

5 out of 5 starsSo Helpful ---> go for it <3!, 2008-06-06
My dad bought me this book after hearing about it on National Public Radio and, at first, I was a bit skeptical.
I mean, who really wants to waste time reading another boring 'How to' book on how to get a cool job?

But really, this book isn't like that at all.
It's factual of course, so you don't have to worry about how much of it is just hot air.
But it's also very comical, interesting, and respectfully realistic.
Not a candy-coater, but in no ways a dream crusher.

What more could you ask for <3?

5 out of 5 starsBad title but good book, 2008-05-29
I don't like bad language but like what this book has to offer. I purchased it for my daughter who is embarking on her new career after college. This is a good read.

5 out of 5 starsFinally a realistic career book!!, 2008-05-27
Most career books I've read try to herd us into the same jobs without thinking out of the box. There are tons of other interesting, fun and well paying jobs out there that rarely seem to get mentioned. This book lists quite a few examples. It was a blast to read. It really helps expand your thinking and it makes the thought of a career change actually exciting!! And the income figures given are realistic too. Most other career books are way too low for whatever reason.

A great book and a great read!!
