★★★★★I was on the fence about whether to apply for a technician program at my community college, and this book settled it. The chapter on what the job actually involves – calibrating flow meters in a factory, writing up certifications, dealing with the monotony of repeating the same procedure 20 times – was so specific I could picture myself doing it. I appreciate that it didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear; it gave me real salary numbers and a clear path to get there. I'm now enrolled in the program and feel like I know what I'm getting into.
