Job Shadowing

Today, my son Nate (11) is shadowing my hubby at work.

Up and out of the house by 7:30, to learn what it is like to be a Unix Administrator.

He was all-nervous about going but so geared up for a business lunch out. (kids…)

I think job shadowing is a wonderful way to show your children what your job is all about and to start to think about their future.

His younger brother (9) yesterday told him that he could shadow me.
(I am a sahm, it is a bit of work, but I enjoy doing it all.)
Nate told him, “I could, but I think it would kill me with all the stuff she does around here.”
Nate’s reply was priceless and set me into a fit of giggles.
Looking forward to hearing about his day when he arrives home tonight.

What would he like to do? Currently, something with history.
