Explore Careers Around You!

Have you ever really asked your mom or dad what they do ever day at work? You might know a little something about how they spend their time while you’re at school, but maybe not much. Here’s your chance to find out more! Just print one or more copies of this page, then go to another adult family member and ask them the questions below. Who knows, it might help you think about what you’d like to do or be in the future. (At the very least, you’ll be practicing your skills for a future reporting career!)
