They mean for this to be a relatively simple question; the idea is that you'll quite easily be able to say something like, A teacher or A doctor and then the adult will move on--and bother someone else.</p> <p>But the truth can be a lot more complicated, and if you've ever felt confused or annoyed by the question, you have every right: Knowing what you might want to do with your working life is one of the biggest, oddest, and hardest questions of all. It might take many decades to find a good answer to it--and it's one that most adults are still grappling with...</p> <p>This is a unique book about careers and the world of work written expressly for children. It takes us on a journey around some of the most essential questions within the topic: How can one discover one's passions?, what should a good job involve?, what is a good amount of money to try to make?, how does the economy function?--and acknowledges that the job you might do one day probably doesn't even exist now. The result is a book that should spark some exceptionally fruitful conversations and help children look to their future work life with positivity and anticipation.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Broadens horizons and provokes critical thought about an essential issue. - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p> <p>Recommended as an entertaining and thoughtful volume on careers and the many factors that influence career choice. - <i>School Library Journal</i></p> <p>Great book!
