A great resource

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018

I bought this book for my teens when they were having trouble zeroing in on a career to aim for. One if the quizzes in here helped my teen see that she loved cooking, passionately. She's now enrolled in a culinary course and is thriving there.

Good not Great

Not enough suggestions as I thought it might have based on the description to help my kids figure out what they should study in college

Vital Read for Teens, Parents, Teachers!

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

Richard Nelson Bolles is *the guru* for navigating the waters of self-discovery, inventing your future with humble confidence that you have good things to offer others that can also become a profitable economic engine, in endeavors you grow to love. Work is called work for a good reason, but it can be far more fulfilling when we choose well, based upon the kind of reflection Kristen (and originally, Bolles) recommends, using the tools she brings to the table for us. The exercises have proven themselves vital for me finding the best fit at several stages of my career. What is more, currently I use this shorter version for guiding high school students at my school to express, analyze, and categorize their achievements and meaningful ventures, recorded as brief vignettes, in order to steer their ambitions toward future success. I commend Carol Christen, Bolles' co-author, for re-packaging the original in such a readable, faster-paced presentation. Most highly recommended!

I picked a teen version because I was so lost with what type of career I wanted to take. I am in my mid twenties. I feel as though I am like a student just leaving high school and this book was perfect to help guide me through all the different questions and concerns I failed to ask myself as a teen. I would definitely enjoy buying more books in the series.

Great Career Planning Tool for Teens and Young Adults

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

I purchased this for my two granddaughters and two nieces. They found it invaluable in career planning as they graduated from high school. I had used the adult version for decades (I have a Master's in Counseling) and was happy to see a version more suitable for a younger population.

Excellent book for teenagers

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2021

This is an excellent book for teenagers. It helped two of our children understand more about the process of transitioning from high school to college or work. The author does an excellent job of explaining the options and process for finding a career that is well suited for each individual. The chapters are extremely detailed and the book includes applicable activities for teenagers. I highly recommend it.

The book is a great resource. It is very dense

The book is a great resource. It is very dense, so young people should take their time reading and be very thoughtful and reflective while reading. It as well is an excellent workbook for teenagers and young adults who are "finding themselves" on their path to employment.

Pared down for a younger audience or people with a shorter attention span

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

Pared down version of the original book and more suitable for a younger audience. It is easier to get through, but offers a good amount of explanation to an audience that needs to be exposed to the many factors to consider when planning a career life. It still takes self-discipline or working with someone to stay on task.

This is an excellent resource for young people trying to figure out what they want to do/be "when they grow up" before spending thousands on a college track that proves to be the wrong one!
