History of English Literature (v. 34) Book

I m giving 4 stars not because I enjoyed this book, but because I feel it is well written. They are technically correct that certain jobs do a lot of reading, but I'd hardly call reading over contracts or legal briefs my idea of a good read. Also, I while I am sure that their data is correct regarding the public sector vs. private sector in terms of job growth and outlook, I feel that the public could make better use of accessible libraries and researchers more than a think tank (looking at you RAND corporation, no one needs a million ways to kill the enemy on the battlefield). Their realism regarding potentially having to move locations to more metropolitan areas for a lot of the jobs is depressing to me. Also, a great many people in these fields, on average, make less than others of the same level of education (in particular, those with Masters and Doctorates). While most of the people they interviewed loved their job, the way they described the day to day grind would not be "intellectually stimulating" and "challenging" to me, those are buzzwords to my ears for your boss working you too hard. Side note: The book is like many others, in that it is part of the McGraw-Hill Careers series which contains occupational outlooks for the careers in this category, as well as subsections for what industries one may find these sorts of jobs in.
