 Extraordinary jobs in sports by Alecia T. Devantier and Carol  A. Turkington

Extraordinary jobs with animals by Alecia T. Devantier and Carol A. Turkington

Not your average career books.  Careers covered in these are ones that you will find in most books (zookeeper, dog groomer, hockey player and sports agent) and many I've never seen in a career book (sports mascot, zamboni driver, pet waste removal specialist and pet cemetery owner).  Each career profile includes an overview, pitfalls, perks, outlook, salary range, education/experience, and personal attributes.  Each profile also features an individual in that career.  Associations, web sites and other book resources can be found in the appendices.

Other books in the series that the library owns and some careers they cover:

Extraordinary jobs in leisure

Human cannonball, paintball park operator, wine consultant

Extraordinary jobs in media

Helicopter news reporter, movie critic, fact checker for magazines

Extraordinary jobs in the service sector

Beer tap cleaner, mystery shopper, AAA hotel rater
