Superficial, trite, sometimes inaccurate
I found the "ideas" list for careers trite (who hasn't heard of any of them many times), the descriptions brief and superficial, and the content sometimes inaccurate -- for example, saying there is high demand for instructors to teach EFL overseas -- there are really no jobs in Western Europe, very few in Eastern Europe, and the recommended TESOL organization in VA (to which I belonged for years) is of no help at all. Don't waste your money.

Complete and Fabulous!
I originally received a copy because a profession I founded is profiled, and I wanted to read what Sandra Gurvis had written. What I found, on top of fabulous information about Virtual Assistance, was a book that's well-written, and that covers a multitude of careers for people who are ready to do work that really allows them to shine and be authentic.
If you're looking for what's next for you, consider getting a copy of this book -- you won't be sorry!
