You've probably heard about the international space station that is being built right now high above us. What would it be like to work in space? Talk about not working at a desk job! A career in aerospace may be right for you. Biotechnology is also quickly becoming a household word. If you've ever watched a TV show where DNA is used to solve a crime or had a relative get a brand new treatment help them get better, you were watching biotechnology at work. Have you heard of or seen a car with a computer that tells the driver how to get someplace? This amazing ability is due to geospatial technology which uses satellites in space and computers on earth. This field will need people who know how to operate all of this equipment. And if you want to REALLY be on the cutting edge, learn about nanotechnology. This is the science of using super small particles to do amazing things-once we figure them out! Maybe you'll be the person who develops new products based on nanotechnology. Videos

If you've learned about the industrial revolution, you may have heard a lot of bad things about factories being dirty or dangerous places. Ugh! If you visit many factories today, you might be surprised how safe and clean they are. In modern factories, people get to work with robotics, lasers and other advanced technology. 
Do you ever imagine how much fun it will to drive? Have you ever thought it would be fun to work with cars as well as drive them? They go fast. They look cool. If your family has ever had a car break down, you know what a pain that can be and how important the person who fixes it is!
Hard hats, lots of noise, and big orange cones may come to mind when someone mentions the construction industry. But did you ever think about how many workers it took to build the home stadium of your favorite sports team? How about why some bridges have beams (the long flat ones) while others have trusses (the ones with lots of triangular shapes)? How about the number of gallons of water that a dam can hold? 
If you've ever experienced a power outage during a severe storm, you know the importance of energy. Electricity, heat, fuel - these are the bare necessities! Without them, we'd be back to using chunks of ice to freeze our food and open fires to cook it. 
Have you watched your mom or dad do the family taxes, or gone to the bank with them? You might not know a whole lot about money right now but some day, you may be one of the people who help keep the world going 'round.
Ever had a broken bone? How about bronchitis? Being sick or hurt really stinks. Sometimes you can't do the things that you love to do, like play outside or go to sleepovers or eat your favorite foods. Sometimes you even have to stay in a hospital or have an operation. Luckily, health care professionals are there to help us.
New York City, the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, Disney World... Maybe you've been to these places. Maybe your friends have talked about visiting them. Like any vacation destination, they offer a lot of cool things to see and do. When you work in the hospitality industry, you have the potential to turn a vacation destination into a workplace. 
How often do you use computers at school? How often do you use them at home to do homework, chat with friends or play video games? Computers are used just about everywhere, so if you think they're a lot of fun, you may just want to build a career around them. 
Are you the type of person who owns ten pairs of jeans, or do you wear a favorite t-shirt to school all week? Do you go to the mall to hang out with your friends? If you are the kid who loves to shop, the retail industry would be a fun place to look for a job.
Have you ever taken a cross-country trip? How about a family vacation using the mini-van? Traveling on the open road can be a lot of fun (unless you start fighting with your siblings, of course!). Just think: some people sit behind the wheel to go to work. For others, sitting behind the wheel is work. 
There are some fields that will need a lot more people by the time you are actually thinking seriously about a job so it makes sense to check them out now!
