Navigating Employment with the use of this book

[Mbali Qalinge]

I'm a young person about to enter the working world, and I'm already feeling the pressure of being a breadwinner and making sacrifices to provide for my family. That's not how I want to live my life, though. I want to enjoy what I do in my career and indulge in the things that I want, so being financially intelligent is a must for me. Reconfigurement is a helpful book for all of us young people.

I must agree that every young person has worried and struggled with the thought of what the future holds especially as it concerns future employment and sustainable but this book offers a path of hope where all can discover a new sense of direction and zeal.

[Jackie Kook]

I am glad I found this book before retiring; however I wish I had found it sooner, when I was younger.
Indeed the lessons in this book should be taught to youngsters at the beginning of their careers. They should navigate employment and pick their careers carefully, keeping in mind that the actual system (pension, 401k) might not fully support them financially later on.

I am in complete agreement with you on this. After making a huge change mid-career, I've found myself more fulfilled yet for less take-home pay. While that is very frustrating, as my levels of education and experience have not changed, it has made a significant difference in my happiness. Sometimes I feel like that person on the mountaintop, just giving a big hug to the world!

I'm glad this book helps you with your current issues. In my case, it's more about pressure, especially from my parents. There is always this haunting thought that I have to meet their expectations and achieve something greater than my siblings. I think this book can help people figure out what actually matters to them, rather than focusing on external standard.

I'm excited you found succor from this book.
I have a distant friend who has the same challenge with you. I will recommend this book to him.

[Helen Akoth]

This book will definitely go a long way in helping me with career planning and retirement.. As a youth, this advice could not have come at more appropriate moment than this, and I feel the wisdom outlayed in this book will be very helpful to my current situation.

Above are questions from the book that are relatable regardless of age or phase of career you are currently at. I agree with the book that they are complex questions. But I appreciate that they give a sense of direction.

[Emma Lamoureux]

I cannot wait to read this book after looking through all of these comments. I have struggled transitioning from a dependent to an adult in the real world, and I think this book will really help navigate it. Finding a job and knowing how to decipher what jobs will suit you is incredibly scary and something I don't really know much about. Thank you for all your comments that led me to want to read this book so badly.

A really inspiring book. It really can help young people navigate the challenges transisting from school to work.

[Kieran Anslow]

It is good to know that this book will and can help youngsters like me to avoid mistakes that our predecessors made. The perspective of the author will go a long way to help me in streamlining my path.

The first and most important lesson is that you can have success and joy by working beyond the age of 65. Even in the case you are well of, have money in the bank and a good retirement plan, for health reasons it's more convenient to work a few more years, as long as you aren't ill.

I really enjoyed the fact that this book offers suggestions on how well to pan for our future as youths and go about our goals.

I share your feeling, although I am in my 30's I also wish I had come across this book years ago, it would have helped me make smart decisions in all my previous jobs. So this is quite a useful item to navigate employment from a more effective standpoint. Many of the author's approaches have helped me to have a more effective and projected vision to generate positive impacts going forward.

[Jane Ogwang]

I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I'm glad this book addresses your concerns. I do not think I could have found this book at a better time. Learning from the mistakes of those who went ahead is vital to leading a better life, and this book gives me that chance.
