Book Description

The majority of people in the workforce are engaged in 'practical' occupations. They build, service our machines, grow our food, deliver our goods, protect us and keep the economy going. This book introduces you to some of the major careers in that area. Each career profile provides: a real-life account of someone who actually does that job, and how they got there; what happens from start to knock-off in a typical day in that job; candid views on the good and the not-so-good aspects of the job; and information on training, earnings and other useful career facts.
