Career Ideas for Kids: Home

This LibGuide explores potential careers in a kid-friendly way.

Welcome

It's fun to think about what you want to be when you grow up. Do you want to be a doctor, firefighter, or judge? Maybe you love being creative and think about being an actor, fashion designer, or singer. Are you the kind of person who imagines what life is like on other planets? If so, maybe you want to be an astronomer, astronaut, or physicist. This LibGuide will show you resources for learning about all kinds of careers. Have fun as you explore and dream!
