The thirteen units provided for use by middle school students contain material for class discussions on such aspects of work as economic rewards, individual responsibility, status, achievement, honesty, and independence. What businesses do and adapting to work situations are also covered. The third level of activities, for the junior high school level, consists of fourteen units of discussion materials on such aspects of careers as emotional climate, recognition, variety, creativity, and economic security. Finding a job, training and education, work benefits, and labor unions are also covered. (MN)
