Books on Careers Outside Academia


Alternative Careers in Science: Leaving the Ivory Tower
Cynthia Robbins-Roth
San Diego: Academic Press 1993
This is a multi-authored text, providing a perspective on 22 nonacademic career tracks. Although the term alternative careers is a misnomer, the descriptions of these career possibilities along with the attendant qualifications and expectations is very useful.
