    Ep 22: What Do You Want to be When You Grow Up? (DREAM JOBS DRAFT)

    Ep 22: What Do You Want to be When You Grow Up? (DREAM JOBS DRAFT)

    We can't wait to work!!!! (as long as it's one of these jobs)

    In this episode of The Wish Kids, Matthew and Milan take part in a draft of the best dream jobs. These are the types of jobs that we would say as kids when asked by our parents or teachers what we want to be when we grow up. Whether it be an incredibly extravagant and ambitious career (perhaps a princess), or something that is so super cute (any veterinarians or teachers in the audience?!), Milan and Matthew think that they drafted some pretty great dream jobs. 

    Let us know any we may have missed in the comment section!!!!





    No Songs on this episode sorry :(
