Very good book
Although I haven't read this book in print form, I have read it online for free. It's very authoritative and full of information. The only problem I have is that it lacks subjectivity: doesn't tell you the "problems" a certain career might have or its workload.

In conclusion, every student or non-student who's just looking for a different career path will benefit from the info in this book.

Ideal reference for perosnal job and career research.
In its Occupational Outlook Handbook 2000-2001, The U.S. Department of Labor provides exhaustive, accurate, up-to-date information on all major jobs and occupations in the United States. This easy to use, authoritative,and definitive reference offers the most useful database of information onjobs and salaries available today. All jobs are arranged into logicalclusters, making it simple to find a given occupation. The descriptions areclearly written and replete with pertinent and useful information onskills, pay, working conditions, training, educational prerequisites andmore. Occupational Outlook Handbook 2000-2001 is an essential, corereference title for school and community job center counseling, and idealfor personal job and career research.

A big help
It's definitely a good book to have, if anything because it's very clearly cross-referenced. I got a lot out of it, and have been lending it out to a lot of my friends. VaultReports publishes similar stuff which is alsopretty good.
