From aerospace engineer to umpire, the Cambridge Career Center introduces students to more than 1,100 different careers and helps them discover which ones might be right for them. This interactive CD-ROM uses version 5.0 of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Information Network (successor to the time-honored Dictionary of Occupational Titles)—America’s primary source of career information.
