One activity that we did was we took a personality test to determine what colour we are, and from there we found out what jobs we would do best in. After the test turns out I am a Blue, and if you are a blue you are artistic, and you are compassionate. One of the jobs that it recommended for me was a doctor, a vet, and a musician which are all things that I would like to do, so yes I think that this whole take your kids to work day did help me choose what I could be when I grow up.
