You Majored in What?: Mapping Your Path From Chaos to Career
by Katharine Brooks
Overall this is probably a quite helpful book (and I'll probably return to it when I actually need it) but I'm just not at the point in my educational path that I'm looking at 'starting a career' yet. This made only the beginning aspects of the book actually helpful (the sections that focus on self-discovery), since the latter sections are all very much about taking action now, whether that be researching jobs or applying for them, and that's just not where I am right now.
It also didn't help that so many of the exercises tell you to take the time and space to really work through them, but my class had so many deadlines attached to everything that I felt like I couldn't actually do them all fully. On top of that a lot of exercises tell you to leave your house to work, find a nice, new quiet space, but that's also impossible.
Overall I feel like this book has the potential to be helpful, just wasn't really helpful for me at this point in time. (Though I have to admit that the exercises at the beginning, where you figure out yourself and what you dream, were interesting/helpful, if not the chapters after).
