Maybe McDonald's doesn't work just because retail environments aren't good for this...or safe...but there is a lot to be learned at a carpet factory. The factory has managers and an owner and all kinds of people doing all kinds of jobs. I don't think it is really an excercise to find a vocation, so much as it is a means to show kids what it means to work hard and aspire to things...and I think you can do that in just about any work environment!<BR/><BR/>And I think it's a great idea to bring kids to work with you, or to go and visit schools and tell kids what it means to be a laywer. You, too e.b.!!! I think the two of you just volunteered:-DAccidentally Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869100744451468800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-64230905038097097162007-04-26T14:55:00.000-04:002007-04-26T14:55:00.000-04:00I went to work with my dad and always found it so ...I went to work with my dad and always found it so so special. I am glad you can provide that moment to share with her. I totally hear Ally's point - but on a personal level it was nice to see what my father did and get an image of how he spent his time.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439772399487069107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-26960434563505502922007-04-26T14:14:00.000-04:002007-04-26T14:14:00.000-04:00right on! excellent post.right on! excellent post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-73425677982992475282007-04-26T11:32:00.000-04:002007-04-26T11:32:00.000-04:00I was thinking about the whole take your child to ...I was thinking about the whole take your child to work thing this morning and sort of realizing what an upper/middle class/educated sort of day it is. Think about it. Who takes their child to McDonald's or the carpet mill? I guess the very people who would take their child to work on this day will also have the means/know-how to encourage their children to further their education and pursue careers rather than jobs, etc.<BR/><BR/>And of course, the people who don't take their children (b/c they aren't allowed to; wouldn't want their child to aspire to their job, etc.) are probably the group most unlikely to encourage or be able to help their daughters or sons to set and reach "high" aspirations.<BR/><BR/>So in short, I should have volunteered to bring a child to work today who wouldn't otherwise see the interior of a law office. The first time I brought my little sister in BBBS she was amazed by the library and desks and whatnot, but if her parents took her to work today, she'd get to see what it's like to earn $6/hour while cleaning off tables.<BR/><BR/>Anyway glad Munchkin has a fun day planned!Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-41083721476754984512007-04-26T10:14:00.000-04:002007-04-26T10:14:00.000-04:00too bad we don't have a day like that over here......too bad we don't have a day like that over here... i always thought that this is quite an excellent idea.<BR/><BR/>enjoy! =)k.d.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03426185788578022811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-64452022462903325852007-04-26T10:09:00.000-04:002007-04-26T10:09:00.000-04:00enjoy the day at work with munchkin:) what a good ...enjoy the day at work with munchkin:) what a good role model she has!megabrookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07116377733819568110noreply@blogger.com
