Editorial Reviews

11/01/2013
Gr 5–8—The series title implies that readers can make a substantial living without a higher education. Though the titles do acknowledge the need for additional training, which can be a sizable investment of time and money, it isn't emphasized. Each volume begins with a section titled "Careers Without College," and follows with chapters explaining the nature of the job, training needed, expected pay scale, and future of the profession. The books are written in a conversational tone with large font and nicely illustrated with captioned photographs. Sidebars of information are included as well as "Looking at Words" text boxes, which are scattered throughout the texts in lieu of glossaries.
