<p>A friend who also has an older returning college student asked me if I or my D knew of a good book that would help someone figure out different career options. I don't but thought my D would also benefit from such a book or some type of testing.
Her D is back in school but struggling with figuring out what she wants to study. She is a transfer student at a large private university. She has to decide fairly quickly on a major since she is was allowed to transfer as undeclared but is will have junior status after this semester. She knows what she doesn't want to do but is lost as to what she does want.
I suggested the school career center. Any book ideas?</p>
