Synopsis
Cool Careers For Dummies will provide lively profiles of over 200 rewarding careers and self-employment opportunities. These cool careers offer meaningful work without requiring a Ph.D. in physics nor a vow of poverty. Nonetheless, few job seekers, career guides or career counselors consider these careers because they're brand-new spawns of the techno-age or are older under-the-radar hidden gems.
Cool Careers For Dummies offers readers new and exciting careers options. They can browse the cool careers listed and then follow-up with the resources listed for each listing.
In addition to listing the latest and greatest cool career alternatives, Cool Careers For Dummies offers new and completely different approaches to landing the job and tackling the new job once you get it.
After just a few hours with Cool Careers, you'll likely have picked out a specific career or two that feel right and that you may never have heard of before. You'll also have specific leads on how to find out more about the career, excellent new strategies for gaining the needed skills for getting hired or becoming successful and self-employed, plus counsel on how to mold the job to fit your strengths, all in a fun and friendly format.
