SALT LAKE CITY — Thursday is national Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day — a chance for kids to learn how their parents make a living and hopefully give them some inspiration for what they one day may choose as their career. In the high-tech era of the 21st century, not all children will have the opportunity to accompany their mom or dad into work.

But instead, they could get a glimpse into their potential career path in the virtual world. A new generation of websites is allowing children to explore career opportunities with creative hands-on, interactive tools in areas from fashion design to publishing to architecture. For Alayse Roundy — a mother of three young children in Tropic, Garfield County — one of the sites has given her 7-year-old daughter, Kym, an outlet for her inner "fashionista. " "She is always changing her clothes and putting strange things together," Roundy said. Roundy said a recent Christmas gift gave the first-grader a chance to design her own clothes.
