Book Reviews of What Color Is Your Parachute for Teens: Discovering Yourself, Defining Your Future
Book Review: Excellent book for helping teens think about and plan for their future.
Summary: 5 Stars
As a career outreach coordinator for schools in four counties, I have found this book to be a tremendous resource. It helps students in the early stages of thinking through potential future careers by examining their interests and abilities. Although most teens will change their career interests (probably many times). There is great value in beginning this process early because when students give serious thought to future careers they begin to make the connection to the importance of their education. I believe this can help be a motivating factor for helping them apply themselves to their current school endeavors.
