I Want To Be… Career Possibility Journals

Did you know that over 50% of Americans dislike their jobs and are unhappy at work? That’s why I created the I WANT TO BE… books, a series of career exploration workbooks for all ages.

When I Grow Up, I want to be…

When I Grow Up, I Want To Be… is an annual career possibility journal, designed especially for kids. In just 20 minutes or so a year, children answer five or six fun questions to record their interests, talents, strengths and achievements.

In this innovative career journal, there are two full-sized pages for each age from 6 through to 18, with plenty of space to answer the questions for that year.

By the time your children are old enough to start thinking about college majors or vo-tech school options, they’ll have this keepsake, jam-packed with valuable insights about their true gifts, skills, achievements, and interests.  

Best for ages 6-12

This workbook is designed to help young adults navigate the stress and pressures of career decisions, providing prompts and questions that guide them to career paths that match their unique talents and interests.

If you’re debating about college, vo-tech school, the military, or going straight to work after high school or if you’re ready to graduate from college and are second-guessing the major you chose, this journal is for you.

In My Next Job, I Want To Be… is a 10-part career possibility journal for mid-career adults. It provides questions and prompts to help you explore your true strengths and analyze your past career experiences.

When I retire, I want to be…

When I Retire, I Want To Be… is a 10-part retirement possibility journal for ages 55+.

Most books about retirement are about being financially prepared. But studies show that your happiness in retirement depends not only on how financially secure you are, but also on how you spend your time and whether those day-to-day activities are in line with what you really want from your retirement.

This workbook helps you identify your talents, strengths, and interests, and discover ways to use them so you achieve greater satisfaction and contribution in your retirement years.

By answering the questions and prompts in this retirement possibility journal, you’ll create a valuable record of your areas of giftedness, your interests, and your work and/or volunteering experience—everything you need to make wiser choices as you approach or develop your retirement.
