The science occupations include several new careers such as avian veterinarian, limnologist, and hydrogeologist, but most are well known. There's no doubt that verbal communication is a critical part of such jobs, just as with the more predictable speech pathologist and broadcaster. A great strength of these introductions to career paths is the freedom to accept or reject each vocation. Such choices give young readers the sense of being in control, and having that feeling is a big part of making a decision. Three more Career Ideas for Kids titles on Computers, Sports, and Writing will be released in November.
All titles are also available in paperback.
