4 out of 5 stars.  Career Exploration, April 21, 2009
I just received this book today, April 21, 2009 and have begun browsing through it. I like the way it is organized and the detailed descriptions included. It includes such information as: position description, educational requirements, employment and advancement prospects, and salary ranges. However, there appears to be a possibility that it is written for someone who may want to become a police officer. If one is looking for only civilian employment, that may pose a challenge.
