College Majors Handbook with Real Career Paths and Payoffs: The Actual Jobs, Earnings, and Trends for Graduates of 60 College Majors
$24.95
The book had every college major, but the descriptions were brief and the format was dull. If you're looking for a major, this is probably not the book for you.

Career Match: Connecting Who You Are with What You'll Love to Do
$15.00
Based on the reviews, some people love this book, writing about how accurate it was. Some people have said it was 'just another personality test.' I think both are true. This is a good, quick way to identify your core strengths and weaknesses and how to exploit and deal with them.

More importantly, however, this book is an excellent tool for people to use in their daily lives. I think the most useful part of this book is the way it breaks down the other personality types. Not only do you see how to identify them, you can gain insight about how other people's minds work. Sometimes personality clashes can be eased by an understanding of how each other's minds work. If you are clashing with someone at work or want to learn how to better manage a difficult employee, chapter 25 helps you identify a person's color profile, and you can refer to their chapter to see what they thrive on. As someone in the HR field, I plan on using this for years. Good book for personal development, great one for interpersonal communication.
