Eyes Open on Careers
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Or: A new look at “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
You guys are off for the summer, so it’s the perfect time to look around at what people do, and whether you’d like to do it too. Start with the people you see around you each day - at the mall, fixing your mom’s car, the dentist…everyone you see is doing something for a living, and right now, there’s no reason you couldn’t one day do it too. Especially since you have plenty of time to find out what it is you need to do to get there. Need to go to medical school? Start getting those science grades up. Think you’ll need a scholarship? Start getting ALL those grades up, and maybe getting involved in a service organization that provides scholarships, too.
So look around you, in your own world and beyond your world. Ask questions and get the info you need. That way, you’ll be on your way to having a career that you love for the rest of your life!
So, tell us what you want to be. Don’t worry, you can always change your mind later if something kewler comes up! Being an actor didn’t stop me from being a dancer, and being a dancer didn’t stop me from becoming a physical therapist, and being a physical therapist never stopped me from being a writer! What’s your current dream job?
