Description
Updated in 2022, this is a good topic to discuss with your middle school students. Why? If they have a sense of what interests them, you can proceed to map out a high school transcript to meet that goal. It's like working backwards. What do you want to do? Ok, how will you get there? Colorful, graphic pages are busy looking but engaging. The salaries may change, but you can do some online research to see what affects a certain path. For example, if your student wants to work in or own a restaurant, you can discuss the impact of the last couple years on the industry. If you have a high schooler, this sort of book can open the conversation about their future goals. Maybe you will learn something unexpected! 32 pgs, pb. ~Sara
