Class 041 Class 041 Education and Entertainment Services Educational/informational series of books, software,video, interactive website, etc geared toward elementary/middle/high school/college students(or anyone interested in learning more about the professions in our society) Each series is age appropriate and provides specific, detailed information (both pros and cons) on the top 100 professions in our society This would expose all types of children/students/adults to all types of professions and enable them to make a more informed career choice based on sound information rather than just their, many times, limited environment Success leaves a trail of clues and these clues will be a great reference for any age to emulate someone at the top of their field This is extremely beneficial, especially with very young children, when they are at such an impressionable stage of life | | | CIRCLES OF LIFE Ryder, Thomas F.
