An essential career choice guide

Job for the Boys: Men and their Work

What is it really like to be a television producer or a master brewer? Is life as a ship's pilot exciting and carefree or lonely and cold? Does a helicopter pilot have a better life than a glass blower? Can a flat packed furniture fetish earn you your keep?

Peter Cross, a broadsheet journalist, has turned his concern and curiosity to all aspects of men's work. The result is an interesting and varied careers book which breaks new ground. The quality and variety of seventy five personal accounts of what working in traditional and new media, performing arts, consultancy, business, music, catering, self-taught crafts and on the high street make this an informative resource.

This is not just an ideal gift for school leavers or recent graduates. Any man fed up with his daily grind will find ideas and inspiration here.
