Take a Friend to Work Day

We've all heard of "take your child to work day" but I'm advocating that you adopt "take a friend to work day".

Doing so will do at least two wonderful things:

1. Your friend will have a better understanding of what you do. After all, how can they fully support you unless they know what you do?

2. You will be doing a great service by exposing your friend to a new career choice. They may be considering a career change and your sharing opportunity with them may give them the interest and courage to make a switch.

Why do we think that it is important to expose children to new opportunities but we don't do the same for adults? I think it is time to change that.
