The School of Life - What Can I Do When I Grow Up?: A young person's guide to careers, money and the future

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
It’s a question every child hears—often from well-meaning adults who expect a simple answer like "a teacher" or "a doctor." But the truth is, figuring out what you want to do with your life is anything but simple. It’s one of the biggest, trickiest questions out there—and even many adults are still working on it.

This unique book about careers and the world of work is written especially for children. It explores essential questions like: How do you discover your passions? What makes a job ‘good’? How much money is enough? What even is the economy? And what if your future job doesn’t exist yet?

Full of big ideas and thoughtful prompts, this book is designed to spark meaningful conversations—and help children face the future with curiosity, confidence, and excitement.
