Below are lists of two types of books that may help you in your personal career development. Reading through some of these may make you aware of career paths you'd never considered, and provide new directions for your career exploration. However, especially with older books, make sure to check the informaiotn with more recent data, as yesterday's hot career is today's dead end.

Of course, I am completely prejudiced and believe the best book out there is Nontraditional Careers For Chemists: New Formulas for Chemistry Careers, by Lisa M. Balbes, published by Oxford University Press (2007). This book covers careers in communication, information science, patents, sales and marketing, business development, regulatory affairs, public policy, safety, humna resources, computers, education and more. It includes a description of each field, profiles of multiple people in each field, and advice for those interested in getting started. (Electronic version now available from Google Play)
