Cool Careers for Girls in Construction
Our Price: $12.95
Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours. Paperback - 128 pages (January 12, 2000) Editorial Review
Even in the twenty-first century, girls may still see their career options
through their grandmothers' eyes: limited by gender. The Cool Careers for
Girls series challenges that view by presenting nontraditional job paths
and profiling interesting, appealing women who have successfully followed
them. Here women in construction careers ranging from architect to ironworker
are profiled, with the authors providing basic information about the job,
the salary range, the daily routine, and training. Photographs show the
women and their work in a positive light. It is the nature of the book
that the text is occasionally repetitive, but readers will probably browse
chapters rather than reading cover to cover. A detailed appendix lists
organizations to contact for further information. Young women who enjoy
working with their hands and their heads, and are considering a nontraditional
career, will appreciate the personalized approach. No index. Catherine
