Kris

"M y 13 year old is exploring broadcast journalism - he wants to be a disc jockey!
So he's studying it in depth, and we'll tour a radio station soon."


Elsa
"Wow. Do you find it easy to set up tours like that?"


Kris

"Well, that one's not set up yet, but most businesses are pretty receptive to setting up field trips. And my 13 year old is great at talking to adults, so people seem to really enjoy sharing their knowledge. It's nice."


Elsa
"No doubt kids go through a number of different career desires. But it helps if they know what doesn't suit them, rather than hankering after something without knowing what it entails."


Kris
"Exactly!"


Writermom

"And it will be nice for them to be able to explore the options first hand, instead of finding out by reading a book or taking a career placement test."


Kris
"And you know, learning to think creatively and explore all of the options, like kids do in a simple challenge, will ultimately help them look at all angles of other - bigger - problems, too, like job choices. Seeing things from all sides is so important."
