Infos

A unique, illustrated guide to the world of work, bringing clarity to children's essential questions on potential future careers.It s impossible for a child to spend too long around adults without one of them coming up and asking, as if it were the most normal thing in the world, "e;What do you want to do when you grow up?"e; They mean for this to be a relatively simple question; the idea is that you ll quite easily be able to say something like, "e;A teacher"e; or "e;A doctor"e; and then the adult will move on and bother someone else.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 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 "e;good"e; 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.
