A career path with its first section missing.

The Blue Blob discovers a wooden walkway through an office. The 1st walking section to walk into the office is missing, leaving the rest of the path looking incomplete. Several young people are looking up at it. A small sign underneath reads: 'Start Here' but no where to start.
