5. Gives more Exposure
As a kid, everyone wants to be firefighters,
teachers and doctors but very few actually take
it as a profession. It is seen that kids learn
what they see so as a kid they saw all these
people and they want to become one of
them. Exposure to new places and profession helps
them in considering professions they may not have
considered earlier and shows them new ways to
apply for it
