From Booklist:

This updated and expanded edition of Shenk's 1992 version includes Internet addresses for organizations and job listings. Careers are grouped in chapters under eight general headings: agriculture and food production, biological sciences, conservation, environmental sciences, engineering, marine careers, recreation, and indoor careers with an outdoor twist. There are about 60 careers all told, including such uncommon jobs as elephant trainer, skydiving instructor, and equestrienne. Profiles of people in various professions offer personal perspectives, and each chapter has a resources section that provides detailed job source information, including fax numbers and Web site addresses. Salary ranges, educational requirements, and employment outlooks are also given, as are advice on choosing a career and tips on job hunting. George Cohen
