Tomorrow is Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work. Fiona visited Rob's store last year, and two years before that she has spent this day with me at my office, learning about my job. I tried to set up something different for her this year, to learn about yet more careers with one or more of our friends, but the day snuck up on me, and my last minute scramble to set something up didn't pan out this time, so Fiona will be in school tomorrow as usual. Oh, well.
Anyway, I'd like her to give her the chance to learn about a lot of jobs. Specifically, your job. I did this last year, and got a fantastic number of responses. I'd like to do it again.
No need to repeat yourself if you chimed in last year, but if you're new to my journal since then, won't you tell Fiona about your job, so she can get an idea of the vast possibilities in the World of Work out there?
If you can, please leave Fiona a comment by tomorrow night, telling her about your career. Something like:
What your job title is, and what that means
A description of a typical day
What you need in the way of training/education/experience to do this job
What was your career path that led you to this job, and why? Was it something you wanted to do since you were young, or did you just sort of fall into it?
Why you like it and (if you dare)
Why you dislike it
What sorts of things can go wrong at your job?
What kind of person thrives in your job
Anything else you can think of that would give her an idea of what it might be like to choose your career?
If you're willing, you might link to this post in your own journal and ask your own friends to come over and add their insights. I'd like her to get as many replies as possible. It was a lot of fun last year, and I hope it'll be fun this year, too. Thanks ever so much!
Cheers,
Peg (and Fiona)
