Each one includes seven jobs, from animal groomer to zookeeper in Animals, from games designer to Web site developer in Computers. The fields are broad, but each volume gives a diverse range of possible careers, with some requiring advanced education and some not. Each chapter begins with a description of the job and then moves on to discuss the responsibilities, qualifications, and best personality type for each one. Interesting sidebars include quotes of favorable and unfavorable points of the positions and hour-by-hour descriptions of a typical day. The page for further information includes books, Web sites, and useful addresses of professional associations.
