Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Thursday

Do you really want to show your children what you do for a living? Whether you're a lawyer or a librarian, take them to work with you Thursday. 

April 25 marks the 20th anniversary of national Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day. 

The annual event was first created for girls in 1993 by the Ms. Foundation For Women. The initial purpose of the day was to help increase self-esteem in young girls while exposing them to future career options. A decade later, boys started joining their parents at work on this day. 

According to the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Foundation, the purpose of the day is to empower children to plan for the future and to help them understand the value of a good education.
