In honor of Take Your Daughter and Son To Work Day, coming up on April 24th, we are having a contest Around The Business Channel. In order for our contest to be a success, we need you and your children to join us this month. What’s in it for you? Money, money, money!! Money! (Sorry, I miss The Apprentice already). Actually the winner will be determined by votes. The best comment we receive across the Business Channel will win. The prize: $25 gift card to Barnes and Nobles.
Summary:
From April 1 to April 20, I would like to invite you and your children to share, submit a comment about what you wanted to be when you grow up. It’s that simple. The comments can be from children who comment about what they want to be when they grow up, adults can post about what they want to be when they grow up or adults can post about significant worklife experiences or people that influenced their career choices. I will be writing a series of post this month about various jobs and vocations. You are welcome to leave comments with suggestions on jobs you would like to see me highlight or I can just pull them out of my head. Either way, you will see a variety of jobs, and vocations highlighted throughout the month of April. My intention is to give you a variety of opportunities to leave comments and encourage you submit and entry for the contest!
Lastly, all of my colleagues across the Business Channel will participate in this contest. Feel free to visit some or all of the various blogs. Here are few of our newer blogs and a few of my favorites: Doing Biz Abroad, Yielding Wealth, Successful Blog, Life Dev, Linked Intelligence, Copyblogger, and Biz Chicks Rule.

I wanted to be a food processor/technologist but somehow, I found myself in the banking industry. I still nurse my dream though ,and I believe that one day soon I will own my own food processing factory.
I also wanted to be a gymnast when I was younger, after I saw the movie about Nadia Comaneci.
