Customer Reviews

Great book for high school graduates wondering what's next.

What a great resource this book has been for my son and for me. It provides not only some excellent specific job and volunteer possibilities, but also an overall framework to consider interests and abilities. The book is full of specific information on internships and how to find them, along with international and national volunteer and paid positions. I thought the section on how to write a resume was excellent, along with the self assessment tools for academic and personal skills. I have bought copies for friends who have kids about to graduate from high school who are thinking about what's next--college or ??

Supportive, clear, resourceful info for high school grad.

I wish I'd had a book like this when I graduated high school and wasn't quite ready for college. Fortunately, this book is available to my kids--it gives confidence, courage, clarity, and loads of information. And, it promotes flexible thinking, allowing them to see graduation and beyond as the next step to adulthood. This author really cares about kids.
