Summary: Not much there
Comment: I bought this book to help my son figure out what he wanted to major in. It was a disappointment: very basic and skimpy (wide margins, few pages). A major section was just word-for-ford transcriptions of what various colleges say in their catalogs (and online) about the different majors. I had thought it would be more meaty with more details about what engineers, say, actually do and what kind of people might like engineering etc. I guess for someone just beginning (high school sophomore?) to think about college, it might be of some value. I meant to return it for a refund, but the price was low enough that my motivation proved insufficient.
