Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In today's economy this is the book we have been waiting on! It is straight forward and loaded with current and relevant information. As I read the book and looked back over my career, I realize that Mr. Happe is right on with his points regarding major business men and women successes that didn't have a college degree.
While the discussion regarding "degree or no degree" makes for a interesting debate, this book equips people now that have been dumped by our economy back into the work place, on their efforts to transition their careers. This book should be one that everyone looking at the economy and career change should buy simply as a current guideline for their next move.
Overall it is a simple read with quality information, get a copy as it will help guide us all through these difficult times!!
