A wide-ranging introduction to work beyond the usual job list

Organized by interests rather than a single career path, this illustrated guide introduces 100 occupations ranging from cat behaviourist and rollercoaster engineer to coral reef gardener. Short profiles of people already working in these fields connect each role to real-world practice, while sections on emerging areas such as AI and environmental work widen the view beyond familiar professions. The book frames career exploration as an opportunity to connect personal interests—animals, art, maths, performance, sport, or protecting the planet—with the many forms work can take.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children interested in unusual careers and real-world jobs
  • Kids exploring links between their hobbies, school interests, and future work
  • Young readers curious about AI and environmental fields
