Each disks in the set focuses on either life sciences, earth sciences, physical sciences, or health sciences. The program presents each career first in an overview and then allows the user to select a tab for sections called On the Job, Inside Story, or Next Steps. On the Job section contains video footage showing the featured scientists performing different aspects of their jobs. The program highlights male and female scientists from varying cultural backgrounds. They explain their research and are are seen in the field, in the laboratory, and at their desks.
Students conduct interviews with the scientists and sometimes participate in the research.
The Inside Story section contains information about the personality traits, salary ranges, and job options associated with a career. A page from the featured scientist's calendar illustrates how time is typically allocated. The Next Step section tells students what they need to do in school, in the community, and home to help them prepare for that career. Lists of books and colleges that are well known in that scientific area are provided. The user manual suggests that the CD-ROMs can be used to show how careers in science can be exciting and to help motivate students who don't see how science relates to their lives.
