Description
THE SCHOOL OF LIFE
The question "What do you want to do when you grow up?" finally gets an honest answer.
What Can I Do When I Grow Up? is a book by The School of Life for young people aged 9 and up — paperback, 176 pages, 22.2 × 15.5 cm. It takes the hardest question of growing up seriously: What should I do with my life? How do I find out what I'm really interested in? What makes a job genuinely good — and how does money actually work? The gift for a birthday, confirmation or any milestone moment — for anyone just beginning to think about the world of work.
The gift for the next big chapter
Few questions put young people on the spot quite like: "What do you want to do when you grow up?" Yet most adults are still working out the answer themselves. What Can I Do When I Grow Up? takes that honestly and offers real tools instead of false reassurance: How do I discover what genuinely fascinates me? What makes a job truly good — beyond salary and status? How much money do I actually need? And how does the economy work, and what does it have to do with me? A book that doesn't answer but teaches better questions. As a birthday, confirmation or school-leaving gift for anyone starting to think seriously about their future.
Honest, practical, written as an equal
The School of Life writes for young people the way it writes for adults: without false comfort, with genuine curiosity and as an equal. What Can I Do When I Grow Up? is not a career test and not a guide that pretends there is a right answer. It is a book that opens conversations — between children and parents, between young people and their own still-forming ideas about the future. That is more valuable than any checklist.

Frequently asked questions
What topics does the book cover?
The book takes young people through the essential questions around work and the future: How can I discover my passions? What should a good job involve — beyond money and status? How much money do I really need? And how does the economy work, and what does it mean for my life?
Does the book tell you what career to choose?
No — and that is deliberate. The School of Life doesn't give ready-made answers; it offers frameworks and questions that help young people find their own. That is what makes the book lastingly useful, not just relevant at one particular age.
Is it right for a nine-year-old, or is it better suited to teenagers?
It is designed for ages 9 and up, but young people between 11 and 15 — who are beginning to face subject choices and early career conversations — tend to get the most from it. The topics become more rather than less relevant as they grow older.
What language is the book in?
The book is published in English — making it a useful read for young people who want to develop their English at the same time.
Who is What Can I Do When I Grow Up? a good gift for?
For birthdays from age 9 onwards, for confirmations, school-leaving milestones or as a thoughtful Christmas gift. A book that shows a young person their questions about the future are worth taking seriously.
