Review of The path from backpack to briefcase 2nd. idition
[Following is a volunteer review of "The path from backpack to briefcase 2nd. idition" by R. William Holland, PhD.]
Parents invest a lot in their children. In doing so, they ensure their children acquire the skills and tools required to be self-sufficient adults. One of their responsibilities is to ensure their children get a good education. As a result, parents offer counsel to their children and try to get them into the best institutions they can afford. Unfortunately, most parents stop here and leave their children to figure it out. With their newfound freedom and lack of necessary pressure from parents, most students find themselves in panic mode towards graduation as they look for jobs. Is there a better way to handle this situation?
At a time when college degrees no longer offer what they once did, William Holland gives a concise but detailed overview of the situation and what both parents and students can do to improve their chances of landing a job in their desired career after finishing college.
The Path From Backpack to Briefcase: A Parent’s Guide Second Edition by R. William Holland, Ph.D., is a joy to read. Firstly, it has simple and easy-to-understand English, which has made the contents easier to digest. It is short and straightforward. I like how Holland does not waste the reader’s time with unnecessary information. I also like his writing style. Holland tackles each section individually as much as is possible, despite the chapters being interdependent. The flow of the content from one chapter to the next is smooth.
Holland has included several stories to support the ideas he presents. I enjoyed reading these stories, as they are relatable. I like the step-by-step nature of the book. Holland provides steps, tips, rules, and suggestions accompanied by relevant explanations that make it easier to understand and put into practice the ideas presented. There are a lot of lessons in this book that many parents and students alike will find beneficial. I found the explanation on which skills employers want to see very insightful. I will develop the ones I lack.
Holland has also organized references to the various subject matter in the book in the “Endnotes” section. I like the incorporation of valuable information in the appendices.
The editing is superb, as I only found a few minor errors. The only thing I disliked was the side effect of the formatting of this book. Some words lack spacing in between. However, it did not hinder my reading. I enjoyed reading this book, and I wish I could have found it sooner. I, therefore, rate it 4 out of 4 stars. It is well–written and informative. I recommend this book to students, especially high school seniors, parents of college students, and educators. The insights covered would be beneficial, especially if discovered early on.
