What's Up?

You love your parents. There are probably other adults that you think are pretty terrific. When you were little you probably wanted to be just like them when you grew up. Maybe you still do.

But here’s something to think about: just because your mom is happy as a lawyer or you think your teacher is great and he thinks science is the greatest, science or teaching may not be right for you either.

Only one person knows what your dream job is and that’s the person who’s going to be doing it – you!

What you choose as your career should be based on what you like and what you’re good at.
