Public țintă

The primary market is young professionals (especially engineers, although the material in the book is also pertinent to people in other disciplines) in the first five or ten years of their career. Typically these people are entry–level engineers with bachelors or masters degrees, or entry–level professionals in architecture, various scientific or medical fields, or in business. There is a general absence of material bridging the gap between college and career. The primary goal of this book is to bridge that gap, and to do so in an entertaining and enjoyable way. The book is intended to help its readers appreciate the many facets of their life as young professionals, and to assist them in developing skills and making decisions that will enable them to advance both professionally and personally. There are also two main secondary markets for the book:
  • College seniors and graduate students who are considering their post–college career would find the book very helpful, and colleges could use it as the basis for a career preparation program.
  • The book would also be appropriate for more mature professionals who are interested in professional and personal development.
