Story
Americans are taught to believe that upward mobility is possible for anyone who is willing to work hard, regardless of their social status. Yet it is often those from affluent backgrounds who land the best jobs. Pedigree takes listeners behind the closed doors of top-tier investment banks, consulting firms, and law firms to reveal the truth about who really gets hired for the nation's highest-paying entry-level jobs, who doesn't, and why.

Excellent guide for young people
As a dad of 3 children, I want to recommend the audiobook "Smart Career Planning for Teens" by P.D. Mason. It's an excellent guide for young people trying to figure out what to do after high school. The book explains different options for education and careers without needing to go to college and take on lots of debt. It's a helpful resource for teens and their parents to make smart decisions about their future. The narrator's voice is easy to listen to, and overall, I think it's a must-have for any teen planning their career path.

Good advice for teens
“Financially Smart Career Planning for Teens” is an excellent guide for teenagers who just start to think about the career plans. What is unique about this book is it puts financial factor into the equation, which is realistic and helpful. It inspires out of box thinking for those who think college is the only path for a successful career. This book has a lot of tips of choosing career path, seeking jobs, budgeting, which will help young adults establish the solid financial ground for their future. My favorite chapter of the book is “real stories from real people”, John might not be able to reach his dream to be a lawyer, which is sad, but should he consider the expensive cost of attending a private college, his story might be different today, that is the value of this book.

I love this!
Going to college and having a ton of student debt is not the only way! For certain people this is the right choice, but for many it isn’t.
This audiobook covers many different aspects of preparing and deciding career path for high schoolers and graduates still trying to figure it out. Goes over money budgeting, searching for jobs,
I think this would be great to listen to with your teen as it opens up a great discussion about your child’s future!

Eye opening
Great eye opening audiobook that reveals so many other career paths beyond what we imagine in the typical path, and without all the student debt! It’s highly essential that young people consider all possibilities before taking on so much financial debt, and this audiobook is a great resource to teach them about what else is out there & help them find their way
