What did people think you were going to grow up to be?
Seems like everyone has an idea about what a kid is going to be when they grow up.
It’s amusing to look back and compare them to what you actually ended up doing.
Most of my family thought I would go into the medical field. I did declare Molecular Cell Biology in undergrad. But quickly realized that wasn’t what I wanted to do.
Most of my teachers and a lot of my friends thought I would major in English because I loved to read. I had no interest in majoring in English. Love of reading does not equate to wanting to do it as a career.
My close friends and one of my sisters thought I would do something creative. I ended up pursuing architecture (by choice) and art (by chance). So I guess they were the closest.
But I always knew regardless of what I chose, that my family would come first. Everything career wise would take a backseat while the kids were still young. I’m not surprised that I chose to stay at home with my kids. But I think everyone else is.
So…what about you?
How off were they?
Did anyone even come close?
What did you think you were going to be?
