Publisher's Synopsis
This is an insightful exploration of the career and life-style decisions of seven distinctive young adults, who chronicle in their own voices important educational and career choices. Readers meet, among others a successful Wall Street trader who dreams of becoming a doctor, a Dartmouth graduate who happily works as a hotel desk clerk, and a former automobile shop secretary who makes it into investment banking and must choose between the position she earned and the man she loves. These intimate and insightful accounts are woven together by the author's own journey on and off the fast track during the period of these interviews. Each story includes questions for reflection and discussion; and Fleming has added an appendix of books and films that he has found to be catalytic for those who wish to further explore life-work themes.
