As Tom Fischgrund says in THE INSIDER'S GUIDE TO THE TOP 20 CAREERS IN BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT, a good job pays for the lifestyle you want, lets you have a personal life that gets you involved in community charities and sports, and takes you where you want to be over the next 20 years. One of the best preparations is interning while studying accounting and finance, juggling a co-op work program with school such as engineering students do, and looking for companies with training programs such as General Mills, large insurance companies, Procter & Gamble, and Quaker Oats. Then, speaking and writing well and getting along with computers, numbers, and especially people will open the best companies' doors. Succeeding also will mean dressing for success, keeping current on office politics and world trends, knowing company decision makers and industry and trade publications, and meeting deadlines while showing up early and doing what the company sees as important to get done. This book reads well with Robert Levering and Milton Moskowitz's THE 100 BEST COMPANIES TO WORK FOR IN AMERICA.
