No You Can't Be an Astronaut: Why you shouldn't follow your dreams and what to do instead, 2nd Edition

If you're launching your career, or doing a midlife reinvention, you don't want well-intentioned platitudes about reaching for the stars. You want answers.

How can I find a job when more and more qualified people are chasing fewer and fewer jobs? How do I keep my job once I have it? Can I really improve my emotional intelligence? How do I answer that interview question?

Sure, follow your dreams, and you'll never work a day in your life. Because that field's not hiring. Or get usable, evidence-based career planning advice.

The Second Edition has 120 references and up-to-date information on the current job market.
