I am a firm believer that American children need to be exposed to career information from any eary age. There are so many choices out there that it is mind boggling! Today I thought it would be fun for parents and kids to learn what different “ologists” do - you know, scientists with “ologist” at the end of their titles. These are worth researching further with your kids. Here are the more unique ones:
