THE BIG PICTURE

For young people at a turning point - whether it's facing the end of high school, college, graduate school, or just a dead-end job - this is a familiar question. Maybe they have the degree they wanted, but don't know where to start in their job search. Maybe they're still in the process of choosing a major, and given the range - from "Biochemistry"to "Adventure Education" -are lost in the options. Maybe they're facing a mountain of debt, but don't want to get locked into a job they hate. While other books might give advice on writing resumes or preparing for interviews, they only go so far. Young people want more than just another job - they want a life, and a meaningful one at that.

Written by the leading authority on self-help research, and reviewed by over six hundred college students, Dr. Christine B. Whelan's The Big Picture offers a guide to discover one's talents, dreams, and desires that can then lead a person to not only a fulfilling career, but a fulfilling life. It guides young people to take a step back and look at the "big picture" of who they are, what they want, and why they're here.
