This is quite a gem and an amazing book! This is a must read if you are in the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences or in a major that is not deemed “technical” such as history, mathematics, political science, or communications, among others. The writers of this book truly have created a most comprehensive guide for all LAS majors. To begin, they explain why they wrote this book as well as why one should major in the liberal arts. They continue on with success stories, but then bring the individual into the book by asking questions one might have, then answering them such as, “What is the relation between major and career?”. They also have pages to fill out that allow you see what you might be interested in or what sort of learning style might fit you best. But that is not the only things that they include. They also have good study and reading skills as well as critical thinking skills and even listening, memory and note taking skills that one can begin to practice. But they don’t even stop there. They even go so far as to introduce ideas as where to look for careers and answer more questions one might have. This is a must read for all LAS majors looking to find careers.
