Careers By the People: Book 2 Questionnaire

Starting to prepare for book 2 so, need your help! Please repost this if you can.

The goal is 102 new occupations for people to learn about. If you can spare 15-20 minutes and answer questions about your profession we would be honored. We want all the info, if you enjoy your profession great and if not please inform.

Your last name will not appear and your location will be more of a known quantity. Example, I would be Mike W and areas I lived like Weymouth, MA would be South Shore or Boston like Hawthorne, CA could be Los Angeles or South Bay LA.

If your questionnaire makes it in this book or the next, you will get a signed copy by me if I’m still around.

Not only do I thank you, but the future workers learning about occupations thank you.

The purpose of these videos is to help students, veterans, career changers narrow down their occupational choice via my experiences, books as well as people that have been interviewed in Careers By the People. Basically, anything thing I learn, can think of or find with the research in the field.

The emphasis is not like “Designing Your Life” it’s about focusing on you profession. It’s 40 years of your existence and per Frank Parsons, other than choosing a spouse, it is the most important choice in your life. Frank is the Godfather of Choosing a Vocation.

Everyone is looking for or wants a dream career, dream job, best job, a solid profession so they scour career guides, career books, career planning, take career assessments etc……which is all good. I like the approach of narrowing it down to a few occupations and fields. If you don’t like hospitals, don’t go into medical, if you love numbers maybe accounting, actuarial science etc… maybe your gig. Focus on a list of likes and dislikes.

Even if you are looking for alternatives to college, talk to people in the field that you want as well as the ones that have left the field and why. Don’t always associate money with success and joy. If all you want is money, that’s easy. Get an MBA from Wharton and work as an investment banker. They make a few million a year, so that is done. Congrats! Move to Beverly Hills! If you want some joy or a challenge for your career, you have to find what interests you and that you enjoy learning about that constantly.

Here's some questions I get….

Is this another “What Color is your Parachute?”

I always get asked “Is Careers By the People like “What Color is your Parachute?”” What Color is Your Parachute is the top selling career guide and it focuses on some subjects that Careers By the People does and others that Careers By the People does not. They are more supplemental than a competitor.

Careers By the People reviews 101 occupations from the people that worked them. They each get asked 20+ questions about their career and the majority have 5+ years in that occupation so you can read if they acquired their dream career or not.

Then I review what I would have done differently in college in hopes to find that dream job or better yet great career. I review internships, career choice career planning for college, career advancement so you have career options in the hopes of career success.

I hope with my career advice that one can choose the best career path for themselves so they can acquire an occupation that offers some type of joy and purpose.

When should career preparation/career planning start?

So many ask when should career planning start? Is this a good book for career planning in high school, is this career planning for teens, or is this a career book for college students only? I think career books for teens should target 10th grade and above. Others want to target elementary etc…..so for readers, I would go with 13 to adult. It’s great to inform young people about occupations but in more of a fun way prior to the serious topics that Careers By the People handles. Some look at this as a career counseling workbook whereas I look at it as a tool to help you narrow down one of the most important decisions in your life.
