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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-highlight\"\u003ePaperback · 176 pages · 22.2 × 15.5 cm · Ages 9+ · English · The School of Life\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eThe gift for the next big chapter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew 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.

What Can I Do When I Grow Up? is not a career test and not a guide that pretends there is a right answer.
