From robotics engineering and computer games development to environmental law and eco-friendly construction, this job guide features hundreds of careers, including trending opportunities.

Do you have a passion but can’t work out how to make a career out of it? Do you want to change your career but don’t know where to start? Are you worried about career development? Or are you overwhelmed by so much advice you are lost in a sea of information? You’re not the only one – and Careers is here to steer you in the right direction.
 
This indispensable guide is ideal for teenagers and newly qualified graduates. Career counsellors will also find this a trustworthy companion for helping students with their future career planning. So, whether you want to become a nurse or home decorator, a chef or cyber-security analyst (or you simply have no idea!), this book is your ultimate source. 
 
Concise and combining a user-friendly approach with a bold, graphic design, Careers is like having your very own career coach.

"This is the prettiest, most well-organized, useful and up to date guide to careers that I have ever seen. It is a wonder, and it is a treasure. I haven't said this about any book, in the last twenty years." — Dick Bolles, author, What Color Is Your Parachute?

"It will be a useful book for our family over the next few years as we begin the college/career process…I hope this book can give our kids some options they may not have originally considered." — SincerelyStacie.com

"This gives readers a range of options." — Booklist

"Getting a kid pointed in the right direction toward a career that is both meaningful and fulfilling is invaluable. Careers does a great job of laying out those opportunities." — GeekDad

"A useful additional purchase for a career section in a public or school library." — VOYA Magazine

"Careers is the ideal reference for undecided teens, parents, and guidance counselors looking for inside information on hundreds of careers." — San Diego Family Magazine

"Inspiring and imaginative as well as practical, Careers has charts and tables that help young people gauge interest about possible careers—it's like having a personal career advisor by your side whenever you need it!" — ChildressInk.com

We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in.
 
From first words to the Big Bang, from the wonders of nature to city adventures, you will find expert knowledge, hours of fun and endless inspiration in the pages of our books.
