If you are a girl, 9 to 15 years old, it's time now to find a friend or relative who will take you to work for a day. If you are dreaming of a specific career — doctor? DJ? mayor? — and if you are feeling brave, call someone who has the job you'd like and ask to spend the day with him or her. The national Web site is www.takeourdaughterstowork.org.
