Excerpt: Saint Eunan's College (Irish: ) is an all-male voluntary secondary school. Located in Glencar, Letterkenny (Leitir Ceanainn), County Donegal (Dún na nGall) in the Republic of Ireland, the building is a three-storey castle with four round towers at each corner of the building. The school is named after the Abbot of Iona St. Eunan, a native of Donegal and patron saint of the Diocese of Raphoe. The college celebrated its centenary in 2006. Saint Eunan's College was founded as a boarding school in 1906 by the then Bishop of Raphoe, Patrick O' Donnell. Originally intended as a minor seminary, it was designed to prepare students for the Roman Catholic priesthood. Diocesan colleges became an increasingly popular feature at the time and were designed to give the best possible Catholic education to boys of every class. St. Eunan's CollegeThe student population expanded in the 1920s and it was necessary to build a new extension to the College in the early 1930s. The current recreation hall was built in 1958 and the science block in 1968. The College Chapel was designed by J.J. Robinson, the architect of Galway Cathedral. It was completed in 1961 at a cost of £42,000. The 'new building' was opened in 1979 to cater for the 500 students enrolled at the time. Due to the growth of other second level schools in the area the number of boarders dropped extensively and in 1992, the boarding wing was finally shut down. St. Eunan's College continues to this day as a Catholic School under the trusteeship of the Bishop of Raphoe. The sch...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=711109 ... Read more

A Treasure for Career-Minded Students
This handbook would be extremely helpful in crafting
an approach toward identifying a first job. The author
documents a $10T to $15T earnings difference between
a high school and college graduate.

Critical abilities are articulated by the author
including:
o ability
o creativity/art
o interpersonal skills
o language acquisition
o numerical computation
o organization
o persuasion
o scientific
o spatial and mechanical abilities

Most college grads are situated in one of the following
professions:

o business
o IT or computer
o engineering
o health care
o mathematics
o the agricultural sciences

A PhD can lead to a job paying over $100T while a professional
degree or designation pays upwards of $128T per year.
This volume would be instrumental in crafting a career
worthy of the extensive preparations students undergo.

Helpful book
I'm a college freshman, and this book has helped me tremendously in trying to decide my major. The guide starts with a chapter devoted entirely to assessing your abilities (interpersonal, spatial, clerical, leadership, etc.), interests (scientific, business, crafts...), and values (do you value independence, or variety, or prestige?) so that you can then compare them to the typical graduate's abilities, interests, and values in a certain major. (This information is given in paragraph form, though, not in a list, which makes it a bit tricky to quickly compare.) There are also job earnings based on age, and percentages of males and females that hold certain positions in major-related jobs.

Also, even though the book says there are only 60 majors discussed, there is usually more than one major/sub-major covered in each chapter of the book (e.g., biochemistry, biophysics, and microbiology are all covered in one chapter).

All in all, definitely a must read for anyone struggling with choosing a major.
