Careers if You Like Video Games is an appealing title that offers a variety of career options for kids who love playing video games to ponder, from video game programmer to mobile app developer. For each potential career, the author explains what the educational requirements are and what skills are needed, and offers detailed (and realistic) explanations of what the jobs typically entail. Informational sidebars, photographs, quotes from people working in the field, and sources for additional information add to the usefulness of the resource.  Source notes are included. THOUGHTS:  Recommended for middle school and high school collections where vocational guidance resources are in demand.
