What does the future hold for humankind? When we finally break free of this planet to launch ourselves into space on a more permanent basis, what will the classifieds of tomorrow read like? What will be the hottest jobs. Which positions will offer the chance for adventure, advancement, discovery, travel to distant worlds, and the accumulation of wealth? Here are fourteen stories that answer these questions, tales of the challenges, perils, and responsibilities that workers of the future may have to face - from a librarian who could determine the fate of an alien race... to a pair of space mechanics assigned a repair job for a species that despises humankind... to a ballet instructor who must find a way to tailor human dance forms for multilimbed sentient beings. (from the back cover of the DAW Books first edition)
