SLJ Review of Hi-Tech Jobs Without College
Gr 8 Up—These titles offer a comprehensive guide to technology-based careers that do not necessarily require a college degree, making it an excellent resource for teens and young adults exploring alternative career paths in a fast-paced, tech-driven world. Through engaging narratives, the series outlines the key aspects of each profession, from the types of training required to daily responsibilities on the job. In the book on computer support, for example, readers learn about the role of support specialists, the hands-on training they typically undergo, and the promising career outlook in this growing field. Readers will appreciate the clear explanations of these technical roles, which are complemented by helpful graphics, source notes, and resources for further exploration. Each book emphasizes that while formal education can be beneficial, many professionals in these fields thrive with certifications, on-the-job training, and experience rather than a traditional college background. VERDICT This series serves as an empowering guide for young adults seeking to break into the technology industry without the need for a four-year degree, and would make an excellent addition to any public or school library collection that serves teens or young adults up to the age of 20.
