The twenty-one all new chapters in this second edition poignantly review a variety of different careers designed for individuals undecided about their future, beyond a desire or "a calling" to work with people, and provide excellent cutting edge information about a large variety of human service professions and occupations, wrapped in the authors' "real passion for helping people." Part I discusses some of the tangible and intrinsic reasons why people want to be human service professionals, and defines and discusses career choice and human service, as well as the concepts of career, job and PR.
