How to Make Money - A Handbook for Teens, Kids & Young Adults. Ideal for ages 10+ This is a workbook that is designed to help a student to carefully choose a career and evaluate all their options for earning an income. This book is a lot of fun, but very meaningful and relevant too! This book introduces students to students to concepts of entrepreneurship, business ownership as well as conventional employment. Set your pre-teen or teenage student up for a lifetime of success by putting this journal into their hands, an interactive guide to uncovering passion, igniting ambition, and providing the practical tools needed to set and accomplish financial goals. Covering subjects such as economics, social studies, and career-planning, this journal can be beneficial for grades 6th-12th. In a culture that pushes teenagers into debt-incurring career paths, this journal breaks the mold with a goal of self-sufficiency. If college is an aspiration, this journal will help a student explore their options of generating income as they work towards a degree. The entrepreneurial options are vast and interesting as this journal takes an exciting dive into more than eighty possible careers or income-generating hobbies, inviting the student into a process of self-discovery by asking engaging questions, not only, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” but also, “Who would you like to be NOW?” This journal was designed to be used alongside library books, parent-approved websites, documentaries, and hands-on experience. With a variety of topics to explore and multiple resources to choose from, fun-schooling is delight-directed, independent, and educational all at once. Does your student struggle with dyslexia, letter reversal, or reading confusion? This journal was printed with the award-winning Dyslexie font, created by Christian Boer to make reading simpler for dyslexic students. If your student has dyslexia, use this journal alongside Dyslexia Games. Visit www.DyslexiaGames.com and choose Series A for ages 5 to 8, or Series B for ages 8 to 12. Keep in mind, Dyslexia Games are excellent resources for all students, designed to engage the brain and encourage creative thinking.

Review: Thoughtfull for all - This book is great for promoting thoughtful conversations with kids (probably 10 and up) about over 90 jobs! Rather than telling our kids what we think they should be, how much more helpful to let them discover on their own! If there are even 10 jobs that spark their interest they can then do more research about them or see these jobs in action or interview someone who works at that job. Some jobs in here might be considered more of a starter type job, but those could turn into a full business as well if a kid was an entrepreneur type. In the very back of the book there are "interview a professional" pages. The pictures are fun and comic bookish that will apeal to all. How many of us when we were kids especially did we think through what getting a certain job would mean? How much would it pay? What are the hours? Could you be good at this job, why or why not? Why do people send their kids to college to find out what they want to do? Spend a ton of money or get into debt to get a degree with no defined major? Uh.. no. Get this book while they are still teens. Help them think through their abilities and options maybe evenencourage them to volunteer at one of the jobs they think might be a good fit for them and if it requires a degree do the college thing for a real reason instead of just "I am tring to figure out what I want to do." It is the investment in a thoughtful friendly journal type book or investing in years of college for a kid that doesn't know what they want to major in. Suddenly this book feels dirt cheap in comparison to college tuition! Review: Perfect for creative people - What do you want to be when you grow up? A handbook for teens, kids, and young adults. Taken from the back of the book: Which jobs don't require years of formal education? How can you make money now, with or without a college degree? How will you support your self, or a family of your own, in the future? You can start earning money while planning for your long term career! "A fresh look at all the job opportunities that surround us all! Just pick of this book and catch a vision for your future! Perfect for creative people!" I was so excited when I received these journals for my children, I have one who wants to go to college, one who does not and one who is to young to know right now. These journals are great to help them see all the possibilities that are out there and to help them not only be creative and with their writing but also their research skills. As usual the illustrations do not disappoint. If you are looking for a fun journal to color and take notes in while learning about jobs and money this is it. Or just for something extra for your kids to do. Highly recommend this book!

Spark some future thinking!
What a great idea, to start kids thinking ahead about careers, hobbies, and skills they may be interested in, as well as sparking ideas what they can do now! This book is well laid out and interesting, and an easy addition to the weekly research rotation. It's fun to google information, and my son likes this journal. I'll definitely get it for my girls when they're ready. Thanks Sarah for another great book and homeschooling resource, I appreciate your ideas and encouragement.

Pretty good.
The general setup of the vast majority of the book is this: on the left-hand side, a page of "Thinking Questions", the first of which is "What is this profession called?", and on the right-hand side, a drawing to color of a person conducting their business. The problem? It's nigh impossible to guess what some of the professions are supposed to be. The very first of these, for example, is a woman posting a photo or video of another woman who has just upended a bucket over her head on social media. It's a fairly obvious reference to the ALS ice bucket challenge, but the career is unclear. Is it implying that "influencer" is a valid career path? Is the woman instead a social media manager? Some sort of nonprofit worker? Another example is a woman holding a small, apparently-muddy child, in front of a hut. Aid worker? Missionary? Adoption facilitator? Celebrity adopter of small, foreign children? That said, the inscrutable drawings are few, and the rest of the material is pretty useful. A small section at the front of the book has a series of Action Steps, including "Make a list of the TOP TEN Jobs (sic) that interest you." and, eventually, "Train yourself to become an expert about your TWO favorite occupations." At the very back of the book you're provided with more space for planning and working on your plans, including a page for goal-setting in two and 15 years, pages to write down what you learn about each of the top 10 jobs, and even pages for interviewing professionals (one of the later steps). It's a nice, thick, book, that appears to be printed in a high quality fashion. The drawings, even the odder ones, are well done, and don't appear to be reprints of stock drawings like some of the coloring books available on this site. They're largely clever, and many evince a bit of humor. On the face of it, my kids are interested, but the teenager for whom it was bought will have to be slow-stepped through it because answering the same few questions over and over and over again is going to get tedious. Hopefully it will lead her toward thinking more about her future. I'm not sure this would be a terrible sort of career guide even for adults.

Challenging...think outside the box...win in my book!
Four of my kids are working through this book right now. My older kids struggled a bit at first but I think it's just because they haven't given enough thought to the topic yet. My 6 year old loves it though! And I personally think it's challenging my teens to think outside the box. And that is a win in my book!

Coloring book?
My son thought this would be interesting but we got it and it was a bit of a let down - it’s basically the same 5 questions with a coloring page for each profession - very juvenile not worth what i paid unfortunately
