I'm a planner and my teenage daughter is a bit of a planner, too. So the idea of getting a head start on dreaming, planning, and preparing for the future intrigued both of us. "What Color Is Your Parachute? for Teens, Third Edition" by Carol Christen and Richard N. Bolles promised to help us with that.First of all let me say this...I wonder what my life would be like now if this book had been around when I was a teen!
This book includes great advice about choosing an education that will get you to the career that you love. With the skyrocketing cost of education, it makes so much sense to choose a path that will get you to work that you love so much you'd do for free. The book also shares how to market yourself, the basics of looking for a job, and creating a life you love.
One resource for a college education that the author didn't mention was the GI Bill. I realize that military service isn't for everyone, but it may be a good place to start for those that don't know what they want out of life and want to serve their country. Just an idea.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a free copy of this book by Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest opinion.
