The reader is guided on how to complete a cost-benefit analysis for each occupation up for consideration. Heavy emphasis is placed on how to use the government's O*NET system for not only occupational information but as a highly functional method for comparing one's interests, temperament type and aptitudes and abilities with the Job Zone.
