The Sky Is The Limit - The Importance of Exposing Young Girls To "Out The Box" Careers

What do you want to be when you grow up????

This question was often asked of us, when we were young girls. Most of us answered with a common set of choices: teacher, nurse, lawyer, mommy. All of those answers are very respectable and wonderful things to become, but we now know, there's just more to choose from. Tips for exposing your beauty to "out of the box careers".

1. Stretch her thinking- A little goes a long way. For all those little girls who want to become a nurse, introduce them to the role of a nurse anesthetist. This out of the box career will still satisfy the desire to help others but will push her into a new realm of responsibility, challenge and not to mention pay grade. According to Forbes magazine this position's annual salary is approx. $115,00.

2. Purposely point out the obvious- As you and your darling go about your daily routine, remind her of her surroundings and things that are created, managed and the result of contributions from women. Remind her that as women we leave our imprint everywhere.
