SLJ Review of The Right Career for Me
This standout series for teens delves into vital aspects of each career, encompassing requisite skills, educational prerequisites, training programs, future career outlooks, and other essential particulars. Each of these books not only provides updated information about exciting careers, but also shares how the jobs have evolved over time—and why they’re so important in the present day. For example, this series presents electricians as essential professionals who help us access everything from hot water to the internet. Whereas carpentry careers used to involve old-school tools like hammers and nails, this series resets that assumption by showing the hi-tech side of carpentry and the lucrative opportunities that await. Real-life issues take center stage in informative sidebars, offering additional guidance for teens, along with captivating, action-packed photos and suggestions for further career exploration. VERDICT Rosen knocks it out of the park with this series; school counselors should definitely consider.
