For children who have a passion for something but don’t know how they can turn it into a job, this series helps them along the way.
Explore a day in the life of 25 people whose jobs involve working with space. While it takes all kinds of jobs to put an astronaut in space, there are also space lawyers and space weather forecasters! Learn how to turn your fascination with space into a career.
"The book includes a set of graphics to help students identify which space job might best suit them based on their skills, qualities, goals, and interests. I Like Space . . . What Jobs Are There?, part of the That's a Job? series, would be a good resource for beginning a cross-curricular project on space-related occupations."

"I have completely fallen in love with this series. I love that it exposes kids to so many different career options and gives clues about their educational background. This is a great place to start for a kid who is just starting to wonder what jobs are out there and has a larger interest (space or machines or art, etc.) and isn’t sure what career options exist in those fields."
