What Do You Want to Be?
Today I was chatting with my son about the various jobs which grown ups do – so of course I just had to ask him what he wanted to be when he grew up. His first answer? SpongeBob SquarePants! I suggested maybe he meant he’d like to work in a restaurant like SpongeBob – but apparently not. He gave me his best ‘Mummy don’t be stupid stare’ and informed me that he actually wanted to *be* SpongeBob. Silly me :)
Later on I was wondering; what do children want to be when they grow up?
I hit up Google and stumbled across this little gem. It’s from the CBBC chat forum. Hot on the heels of a report which suggested that there’s not much help offered in schools to assist children in deciding upon a career, they asked what kind of job would the children like to do when they’re older.
Over 150 children commented on the thread. The comments are wonderfully entertaining to read.
