The Anatomy of Work: A Guide to Job Satisfaction & Financial Security - Paperback

by Mark Englizian (Author)

Life is more fun with money in your pocket; however, many young people are struggling to find a job, finance higher education and make ends meet. The decision to invest in education is not obvious: should you go to college, or trade school and how will you pay for it? Are you looking for a job, selecting a career or thinking about building a business? With little to no attention to these issues in high school, combined with the lack of confidence young people express when asked about financial literacy, no wonder that 50% of people aged 18-30 are unemployed or underemployed. Many are in debt. Many live with their parents. And many are overwhelmed, wondering what to do next. Launching into a life of work, and finding job satisfaction, often feels so daunting and out of reach for many young people. The author is cracking a door open into a different world of possibility and hope, where people willing to learn can find new paths forward in life.

The Anatomy of Work is a career readiness guidebook, using human anatomy as the metaphor for how to action plan a pathway to job satisfaction and financial security. Simply said, the author shares his perspective that meaningful careers are built through continuous learning, strong relationships, resilience, and thoughtful decision-making. Young people will appreciate the straight talk, human-interest stories and easy-to-recall themes of fulfilling work, informed decisions and responsible spending.
