Despite its whimsical typeface and bright purple icons, this workbook is an earnest exercise in getting your grandchildren to think about their future careers. Once they have realized that becoming an Intergalactic Princess or a Dragon Doctor are out of the question, Grow Up, Get a Job Career Exploration Workbook allows them to consider, research, and plot their potential, real-world careers. It includes a list of 1,001 job titles and covers essentials like touting their skills and experience in a resume, giving a firm handshake, and speaking intelligently in an interview. Seeing as most of us don't start thinking about such things until our senior year of college, this book is a giant head start.
