my 7 year son old is begging me to take him to "take your child to work day"

My son has been asking to come out with me for a couple of weeks but I have been hesitant. This is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world and though I’d be proud of him if he wanted to do this for a living, I want him to live to be old enough to make that decision. Also, I’d be scared he’d be bored to death. Don’t wanna ruin his potential career choice by having a bad time now when it would be more palletable when he’s older.

 

Picked up a hitchhiker annnd got randomly inspected.

 

No! You'll just get him addicted to trucks.

Happened to me. My dad started taking me when I was about 3, and I've been in love with trucks ever since. True story.

 

do it!!!!!!!!!!

I know when I was a kid (well a little guy, I"m still a kid at heart) i would have given body parts to go do it.

Yeah, maybe it might not be what I thought it was but it still would have been great!!!!!!!!!

but yes, he might get bored, but ya never know, ti's up so high it's a whole different view of the world.

let him take pictures too, so he has something to show.

 

He is your son to teach, show him everything.

 

Just do not let him drive the truck.
