At the age of thirteen Italian school-children must chose in which area to continue their studies. It is not an easy decision to take: Italian high-schools are a labirynth of different subjects and work orientations. To chose one out of all possible high-schools means to determine one's future. In a simple and easy language this book offers a help to the children and the parents in making this difficult choice by providing the necessary information to allow a conscious choice and useful advice on how to succesfully carry the study course to conclusion.
