Negative Positive
Title: Dated but still useful
Review: It's too bad in a way that a book like this must cite annual salary figures and job market projections. Why? Because they so rapidly become outdated.Everyone was making less in 1994. Is that what inflation does?Easton's job market projections do go to 2005, so those are still useful, for another year anyway.Easton did a good job of pulling together all the occupations that could possibly be included under "science," including some that are usually included only under "business," such as accounting and bookkeeping.Easton notes in the preface that the book is for young people exploring possible careers, but can be used by anyone exploring careers, including those changing careers later in life.I liked his take on career-changers: he finds them refreshing and not as stodgy as some who find a niche and never let go. But, he notes, career-changers may lack the ability to focus on just one area throughout a lifetime.Diximus.
