Description
Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, or Conventional? Which personality type fits your student? This scientific approach to choosing a college major could save your family time and money. You hate to see a young person choose a major only to find out it doesn't suit them or it wasn't what they hoped it would be. First you have to choose a response to 180 activities to determine your personality type. Is it something you like to do, dislike, or are you unsure? The book then shows you possible majors in your type. You will learn salaries, predicted growth, and annual openings for the top 10 best choices in your area. There are loads of information tables with titles like Best Major for: people with self-control, flexible people, detail-oriented people, people who do not want to work behind a desk, persistent people, sensitive people and more. Then you learn what is involved in choosing each major like specific job duties, skills they must have, people they will have to work with on projects, and what sort of schedule they will have. This section is organized by personality type. Arm your student with as much information as you can to make such an important decision as what profession to choose. I can see using this book to confirm a decision or as a guide to point you in a professional direction. 308pp, pb. - Sara
