　　 –Ben Casnocha, author, My Start-Up Life: What a (Very) Young
CEO Learned on His Journey Through Silicon Valley
　　 “This is a cool, unusual, and truly useful book. In my career
coaching practice, the number one issue my younger clients face is
having the strong desire to do something different work-wise with
little knowledge about what jobs exist and how to find them.
Alexandra Levit’s guide organizes passion into seven profiles and
describes specific jobs within them. A real gem in the book is the
innumerable resources listed to help readers learn more about the
jobs that strike their fancy. Buy this book!” –Julie Jansen,
author, I Don’t Know What I Want, But I Know It’s Not This
　　”Alexandra Levit has written an ideal book for all those adults
who still don’t know what they want to do when they grow up. The
practical self-assessment that opens the book could point even the
most indecisive person toward a realistic and satisfying career
path. While reading about the dozens of coolest gigs that are
thoroughly researched and attractively presented in this book, I
almost started second-guessing my own career choices. Good thing
I’ve already scored a cool gig!” –Tom Musbach, Editor, Yahoo!
HotJobs
　　“Reading this is like having your own career counselor on call.
It is, without doubt, the #1 book for anyone who’s unhappy in their
job, confused about what to do next, or just wonders if they’re in
the best career for them. I am giving a copy to every new college
grad on my list. In fact, I’m giving one to every high school grad
I know too.” –Barbara Stanny, author, Secrets of Six-Figure Women:
