Synopsis

Land, air, and sea vehicles need to be driven, built, and maintained, as do roads and rails. Besides offering a base of employment, the transportation field provides people with plenty of personal satisfaction. Some of these jobs are union jobs, with excellent benefits; others, such as revolutionary ride-sharing services like Uber, offer few benefits but a lot of freedom and control over where and when you work. The manufacturing jobs featured in in this book also play important roles in the national economy. One great advantage of these fields is that your supervisors recognize the need for ongoing training that will help you expand your knowledge and make you more valuable in the workplace. And best of all, you can get started in a career in transportation or manufacturing with just a high school diploma. Each title in this series contains color photos throughout and the essential information needed to find not just a job but a career that draws on the reader's particular skills and interests. Each chapter profiles a different job in the field and helps the reader to determine whether it is the right job for him or her. Web sites listed in each chapter provide further information. Key Icons appear throughout the books in this series in an effort to encourage library readers to build knowledge, gain awareness, explore possibilities and expand their viewpoints through our content rich non-fiction books.

Sidebars are highlighted graphics with content rich material within that allows
