As a former human resources professional, author Karleen Tauszik was discouraged by frequent reports in the media stating that over 50% of American adults feel disengaged and unsatisfied in their jobs.

Combining this discovery with her HR knowledge, Karleen developed the first-of-its-kind annual career possibility journal for children, When I Grow Up, I Want To Be… However, people often asked, “When are you going to write a book like this for adults?”. This prompted her to create the other three books in the series, covering the career needs of all ages.
