This review is also available on my blog, Read Till Dawn. I'm a high school junior-almost-senior. You know what that means: I'm big-time stressing about college. After years of deliberating I've gotten no closer to a definitive decision about what career I want to pursue in college. Computer science? Information Technologies? Accounting? Publishing? Who knows? So when I saw that I could get a review copy of What Color is Your Parachute, I jumped at the chance. But of course, I mentioned I'm a juni..more

I flipped through this book and think it may be a good resource for teens who are not sure who they want to be. Although my kids seem to be set on their chosen professions, I will keep this book in mind in case they change their mind. Just to note, this book seems like a lot of work. You really need to be determined and motivated to zero in on the best fitting profession in order to benefit from this book.
Remember the original hanging around my house, and this is written for teens without cheesy references. My high school seminar students will benefit from the practical strategies IF my grant for a class set of books is funded. No more 'I love CSI so I will be in forensic scientist.' These activities will provide an avenue for informed choices.
Was very helpful in allowing me to discover myself. It reconfirmed what I felt was the right career path for me and gave useful insights into job-searching, financing my education and basically, how to find the right job once you know which job you want. However, given my situation being outside of the US and all, some parts of the book were not as applicable but still good to know.

(*DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED THIS BOOK FOR FREE AS PART OF THE BLOGGING FOR BOOKS PROGRAM, IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW. NO OTHER FORM OF COMPENSATION WAS GIVEN, AND ALL OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN THIS REVIEW ARE MY OWN.) OVERVIEW: I love science. I love computers, making them bend to my will programming them, and technology. That all adds up to Computer Science, of which I will major in. However, that decision hasn't always been concrete. In order to major in the sciences, one had to possess an inordi..more

I am ashamed of myself. On the very same day that I started reading this book, I gave it up. I started reading it because I had decided that I would use this summer in a productive way. The particular productive way was to explore different career options, then what I would need to study in college to pursue those careers, and then start narrowing down my college options. This book really didn't help me with that. I got bored quickly, and quickly gave it up. Not to mention, it also made me feel p..more

I thought this book was helpful for the most part. In my opinion certain parts of the book are best to read at certain points in your life. Like part one is best to read when you're in 8th or 9th grade and part three is more like for when you're in college, searching for your first job dealing with your major (I found this section kind of over-whelming since I'm not there yet. I'm only going to be a senior in high school.) I would recommend this book to anybody who wants advice for finding a per..more

This book has a lot of helpful information and advice! I read it through, and now I want to go back and do some of the exercises that I think will be helpful as I start my own business. I liked how the writing was professional, but easy to follow and to read. I would recommend this to any of my teen/young adult friends, with the reminder that the world thinks differently than Christians, and so the 'why we do what we do' may differ a bit from the book's philosophy. May your future dream job, and..more

While this was very useful to me and the exercises appealed to me, I found that I just didn't want to put the effort required into copying all the charts and pictures and everything so I could actually do them. (I borrowed the book.) As a result, I didn't really get much from it. I still liked it, though, and it's a wonderful book, which is why it has three stars.

A fairly quick read for a work project. As a title modified title from the original for teens, this book contains some sensible, practical advice about career planning and goal setting. It does its best to stay current, noting some trends and reporting the death of [paper] resumes.

Carol's career advice to teens and young adults are spot-on. I found the book helpful and would recommend this book to young people searching for their first job out of high school or college.

I will pick this up again when our children are a little older to help give them tools in their search for what they want to do in life.

This is an excellent workbook for teenagers and young adults who are 'finding themselves' on their path to employment.
parents had me read this..was quite interesting
It was pretty good and kinda helpful. I thought the section on 'the people you like most' was the most interesting and I slightly supprised myself with what I answered.
it was good :) definitely a must-read for people who aren't sure what do to when it comes to choosing a career
Mar 05, 2017Emily Chu rated it really liked it · review of another edition
Has good tips, although could be more open-minded. It is already a lot more open-minded than most career books, career sites, and adult advice, so that's good.

DNF at p.18 If I had a middle name, it would be 'DNF.' I seriously need to review my tbr shelf, like now.
I loved it! I didn't finish it, but I got close and I thought it was really interesting.
Hands-on guide and activities for younger teens seeking to discover direction for their futures.

The book is a great resource. It is very dense, so young people should take their time reading and be very thoughtful and reflective while reading.
