When I Grow Up Challenge
Duration:
7/1/2016 - Til Done!

Progress: 45 out of 45

I came across a list in a magazine of the Top 15 jobs that kids want to do when they grow up and it inspired me to create this challenge. This challenge requires you to read books relating to each of the professions listed. For each profession there are 3 tasks.

One task per book, so if you are doing Level 3 you will read 45 books.

Choose your level:

Level 1 - Apprentice- 1 task per profession
Level 2 - Hired Hand - 2 tasks per profession
Level 3 - The Boss - 3 tasks per profession

Duration: Set your own target depending on your reading speed.

(N.B - For the "word in the title..." tasks, the word can be in the series name instead).

For those of you wanting to try something a little tougher, Agnieszka has developed an expanded version of this challenge which can be found here: When I Grow Up Version 2
