There is no single path to the job of your dreams. What does it
take to become a stuntperson? How does a mathematician spend her
days? When does a barber become the center of a community? In this
refreshing take on a careers book, meet twenty-five individuals of
different backgrounds, genders, and abilities who have found their
careers through a wide range of experience, education, intention,
and inspiration. From Joshua Jones, who built a business where he
could thrive as a Deaf interior designer, to Teresa Tam, whose
hunger for knowledge led her to the position of Canada's Chief
Public Health Officer, each of these dreamers found ways to dig
deep into their passion, to gain experience and knowledge, and to
turn that into a job. In If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It,
Colleen Nelson, middle-school teacher and award-winning author of
The Harvey Stories and The Undercover Book List, teams up with
children's librarian and literacy advocate Kathie MacIsaac to show
young readers that there are many paths to a dream job. Education
may come from university, college, trade school, apprenticeship,
specialized training, or simply asking questions and getting
involved. Your career may be something you're already dreaming
about or something you've never even heard of. No matter what,
success means feeling happy with the work you do. If You Can Dream
It, You Can Do It includes full-color photographs and
illustrations, informative sidebars, tips for trying out a field of
interest, a glossary, an index, and an interactive quiz. Spotlight
features on children and youth who are already gaining experience
for their own dream jobs round out this inspirational resource.
