Gr 9 Up—Basic information about finding a career, the pros and cons of working, discovering the right work/life balance, and emerging trends in the workforce are presented in this Australian production. The young and enthusiastic people who are interviewed—a spa manager, a chef, a retail shop owner, and a sound mixer—discuss their attitudes towards work, but don't focus on their specific jobs. Many simple graphics complement the narration. The film would have been stronger if it had included details about specific careers and more coverage about emerging markets.—Ellen Frank, Jamaica High School, NY
