I would like to announce that I am working on a new nonfiction series. This series is called Career W.H.A.T. This series is about work. I know that is not necessarily the best topic to deal with but people wish to know about jobs before they get into jobs, right?
My series cover:
What do you want to be when you grow
up? Many children dreamed of becoming police, firefighters, astronauts, and
actors. We don’t all follow those jobs, however, so what happened to all those
dreamers? Some of us fall into a job just to make bills, but others of us
actually start a career path that we think we will stay in. Sometimes we do
stay on one career path but we also can change paths to go into a different
field. Whether you are the college student who is looking to start a new
career, the high school student who has to find a job to save up for a car, or
an adult who is thinking of swapping careers, the main predicament is what
field is the right one for me? No one can tell you exactly, but it is a good
thing to do some research before choosing a field of work. How can you do the
research without trial and error? Ask someone who has been there before. What
is that field like? Is it worth it?
The Career W.H.A.T. series is here
to help you with those questions. Gracie Mae DeLunac has asked a few people
about their experiences to bring you this book. In this book, people who have
been there can answer a few of your questions: What is the training like? What
kind of embarrassing experiences have you had, or seen, in the field? What
nightmares does the job instill? What makes you enjoy this job? What do you
hate about this field? The answers may
not be what you want to hear or they may be exactly what you need to hear.
Maybe you will find that you might like this field or that you could not handle
what they went through. Either way, step into their shoes to experience the
field. Sit back and enjoy.
