What Color Is Your Parachute? for Teens, Third Edition: Discover Yourself, Design Your Future, and Plan for Your Dream Job

I wanted her to especially see the pink pages which involve helping you understand yourself and what you want. It didn't fail.I've bought this book about every five years from the first edition to this one, the last written by the original author. Best part of that was each edition had new, updated, information so remained relevant even as times changed.The very best book on the subject that I've seen or read.

This is an excellent book for teenagers. It helped two of our children understand more about the process of transitioning from high school to college or work. The author does an excellent job of explaining the options and process for finding a career that is well suited for each individual. The chapters are extremely detailed and the book includes applicable activities for teenagers. I highly recommend it.

This was my fault, but when I got this the summer before my son’s Senior year, much of the material we had either already considered, or it was far to late to consider it for him. I could have sent it back, but I gave it to my 9th grader and it is proving beneficial and thought-provoking.

Richard Nelson Bolles is *the guru* for navigating the waters of self-discovery, inventing your future with humble confidence that you have good things to offer others that can also become a profitable economic engine, in endeavors you grow to love. Work is called work for a good reason, but it can be far more fulfilling when we choose well, based upon the kind of reflection Kristen (and originally, Bolles) recommends, using the tools she brings to the table for us. The exercises have proven themselves vital for me finding the best fit at several stages of my career. What is more, currently I use this shorter version for guiding high school students at my school to express, analyze, and categorize their achievements and meaningful ventures, recorded as brief vignettes, in order to steer their ambitions toward future success. I commend Carol Christen, Bolles' co-author, for re-packaging the original in such a readable, faster-paced presentation. Most highly recommended!

This is an excellent resource for young people trying to figure out what they want to do/be "when they grow up" before spending thousands on a college track that proves to be the wrong one!

Im so glad I bought this book for my son. He’s found it interesting and helpful. He’s a jr in high school

I had heard great things about this book. For our sons it simply was boring and is sitting on the shelf. Multiple attempts were made to read it with no success. I still think it is worth a shot trying as it may work for you or your child.

I purchased this for my two granddaughters and two nieces. They found it invaluable in career planning as they graduated from high school. I had used the adult version for decades (I have a Master's in Counseling) and was happy to see a version more suitable for a younger population.

Great, detailed and helpful book. I enjoyed reading it! I’d recommend for any young teens or adults

I have the adult version and I bought this for my 13 year old niece who is about to choose her options. She loves the book and is finding it very helpful.

Ich habe ein neues Buch bestellt und das ist was ich bekommen habe :( Schade!

Great exercise book for the teen trying to figure out what they want to be.

Brilliant: insightful, constructive and hollistic. Mostly applicable to adults too.
