Pause and Ponder: How Your Interests Ignite Your Purpose
- For younger children: What job would you like to try out when you get older? What do you know about this job, and why does it interest you?
- For older children, teenagers, and adults: What are some jobs that might fit your interests and strengths? What opportunities exist for mentoring and job shadowing that provide a window into different careers that fit your interests?
