Needed this textbook for college, had interesting facts about certain medical careers. Definitely good to read if you want to pursue a career in the medical field, but don't know which career would suit you best. Personality for me, it was quite informative to find out about different careers out there that I'll encounter in my own career. Only one downside that seemed to bug me throughout the whole book - there could be more information and detail to every career, because there simply wasn't enough detail to every medical career described in the book - an internet research would have been a good resource of "in-detail" information.
