Careers for Travel Buffs & Other Restless Types

Traveling can be a part of living whether for leisure or job related; however, to some people traveling is a passion. How can travel enthusiasts make a career out of their passion? The book entitled, Careers for Travel Buffs and Other Restless Types provides some answers to that question. This book breaks down travel jobs into different categories: from travel agents to business travelers to travel writers and journalists to my personal favorite, rock stars and movie stars. Each travel profession is broken down by aspects of the job, how to find jobs in these positions, estimated salary and wages, as well as, contact information within that field. Careers in this book include a variety of majors including criminal justice, communications, business, theatre and arts, hospitality, etc. This is a good way to spark ideas for careers in a field that some people might overlook. While we all cannot be famous rock stars and movie stars like some may dream about, you can still have take your passion, turn it into a career, and have fun!!  Book Reviewer- Kayleigh Delfino, Keystone College student

12 March 2009 - 11:33Book Review: Careers for Culture Lovers & Other Artsy Types

Careers for Culture Lovers & Other Artsy Types, 3rd ed. (Careers for You Series) This book is a handy guide for those of us who love the arts, but aren’t artists or performers ourselves. It breaks culture lovers down into five types: culture lovers, art lovers, dance lovers, theater lovers and music lovers. The book begins each section by describing what that particular culture lover is like and goes on to suggest possible careers that allow one to work with the type of art or culture that is enjoyed most, but doesn’t involve actually creating or performing. It explains the average career path you must take to acheive each each job and provides possible salaries that you could earn. It’s a thorough guide with lots of thoughtful options. It’s a good read for any culture lover looking for a career they’ll enjoy pursuing!
