Why I created this list
When I was in college, I was obsessed with researching future careers.
I knew I wanted to do something big and ambitious, but I didn’t quite know what that thing was yet.
The problem was there wasn’t much info out there about future careers. Vault Guides were OK, but I wanted to go into more depth. I wanted to jump into books that could really teach me about what a career in that industry would be like, and ideally, how I could standout.
That’s why I created this list.
This list is meant to capture the top books in each field, according to reputation or to my personal experience.
How to use it
I do not recommend that you try to read EVERY book on this list. Rather, pick ones that
Also, be aware that I would make a small commission if you use a link to purchase one of these books. That said, I don’t really expect to make money off this.
It would make me much happier if 1-2 people email me in 6 months to let me know one of these books changed their life!
