A Day in Their Shoes

Choose a profession you respect but would never want to do and write about a typical day in that profession.

Exploring a day in the life of a worker in an unfamiliar field can be a unique way to honor Labor Day. By researching and writing about someone else’s daily grind, you will not only expand your empathy and understanding of various work sectors but also gain a deeper respect for the many hands that build and sustain our society. It prompts introspection and an examination of the value we assign to different professions.
