Reply #90: Iris, the book is a great tool.

I believe most college campus's have it, and having a son who's a junior in high school, I wish the school had it as an assignment for the kids.

I used the book many years ago, and I found it to be uniquely helpful. I know it is revised often, as it should be, so I'm wondering if maybe using it again, wouldn't hurt. Since I am older and know myself better, I know what environment I'd prefer and the kinds of people I enjoy: who enjoy me back; I might not need the book as much in this area of self-examination, as that part of the book helped immensely when I was younger. I believe what might be beneficial in using the book again is utilizing the abundant information regarding the interview process with those in the fields I'm considering, which would undoubtedly aid me in the final decision process. I found when I was younger, I used that part of the book a small bit; I may have lacked the self-confidence to interview "older, more experienced people". At this point, I would be ready to go, on that!

Thanks for the great reminder! Very much appreciated!
