    In this wonderful reference guide from Deborah Reber, you can find an astounding amount of information from
    women across the globe in a variety of career fields. Laid out in a simple, easy-to-use and follow way, IN THEIR
    SHOES highlights a number of career choices, and the pertinent information you need to decide if a particular path
    is right for you.

    Each career – from a forensic scientist to a librarian to a journalist and everything in between – is featured with the
    same layout.

    You’ll find “the facts,” including what the career entails, where you can find a job in that particular field, how you go
    about getting that type of job, what type of money you can expect to make, the dress code for the profession, and
    the stress factor for that career, rated on a scale from 1 to 10.

    Each career – and, in turn, each amazing woman profiled – also offers practical advice to readers interested in
    pursuing the same field of interest, an interview held by the author, answers to questions from teen readers, a few
    points of interest as to what it takes to do the job, related careers, and a timeline of the professional’s life. Everything
    you could want, and need, to know about the women featured in IN THEIR SHOES and their chosen career is in
    this book.

    This is the perfect guide for any girl who is ready to start deciding on what path they would like their career choice to
    take, and even for those who are just interested in reading about the amazing positions that are out there. With just
    about everything you need to make some firm decisions, IN THEIR SHOES also points readers to additional
    sources of information for each particular career. It also includes a career chooser, which is a checklist of job traits
    to help you in your quest for the perfect career, and an index that can help you find facts in a hurry.
