Description:
CAREER CHOICES helps students answer the questions: Who am I?, What do I want?, How do I get it?. This addition to the popular and critically acclaimed Choices series is every bit as innovative, entertaining and important as its predecessors. Using the same self-discovery approach that makes the other books so valuable and popular, CAREER CHOICES presents not only the traditional decision making and career/life planning skills, but also the important concepts of anxiety tolerance, recognizing and using mentors, dealing with rejection and over-coming irrational fears in a way teens and young adults can easily grasp. As readers uncover their unique abilities and ambitions, they develop the skills and attitudes needed to build successful careers and lives in rapidly changing times. "User friendly" for student and instructor alike, CAREER CHOICES helps teens and young adults learn more about the most important subject in their world: Themselves!

Teachers who've begun to use the curriculum are excited by the results. There seems to be a kind of synergy at work. Once students realize how education will benefit them in the future "what's in it for me" they apply themselves to all their studies. Not surprisingly, their performance improves, and this encourages them to work even more diligently. Success feeds enthusiasm, which inspires still more success and so on!
