The Career Path E-Books were designed to accompany the 2015 Edition of the High School of Your Dreams Guidebook, which has been discontinued. A highly condensed version of the information in the Career Path E-Books is included in the 2019 Edition of the High School of Your Dreams Guidebook. The Career Path E-Books will continue to be offered until June 2020 for use with the 2015 Edition of the Guidebook.
The Career Path E-Books help students determine the long-term goal of their studies. The first part of each Career Path E-Book lists a number of possible career paths and what courses are needed to prepare for careers in those fields. The second half of each E-Book consists of a detailed sample Individualized Plan (course of study) written for a real student with skills related to the Career Path in question.
