Intended for a high-school readership, this book provides advice for making post-secondary decisions about further education or training, identifying career interests and understanding income.  At the end of each chapter there is a good/bad list of things to consider when making decisions related to one’s future.  Simple math and word problems help to put the chapter information into perspective.  The book is a slim volume and presents just the basics of each issue. However, it is a good starting point to introduce post-secondary decision-making to high-school students at any grade level.  The explanations are simple and clear, with many practical examples given.
