What do you want to be when you grow up?

I'm coordinating the yearbook for my school, a k-8 neighborhood school in Philadelphia. My committee of middle school students came up with a survey to gather interesting data on students at our school. One question was, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" You really get insight into kids' minds when you read some of the answers. When you weeded out the basketball and football player reponses...you found some true aspirations. One students indeed wants to be Spiderman. And another wants to "make cereal". I came to the realization that public education works! We are producing students of varying interests to cover all the division of labor in our economy.
