Students Reading is one of the best ways to learn. If you're looking to expand your thinking with career-related reads, here are a few suggestions.

As high schoolers, it can often feel like we spend all day reading textbooks and primary sources. After the bell rings, many of us are hesitant to pick up a book and start reading for pleasure. However, if we can get ourselves past reading fatigue, we'll find that it is one of the best ways to learn more about the careers we are interested in. If you're looking to expand your thinking with some career-related reads, here are a few of my suggestions:
