This episode takes us back to our original model of comparing and contrasting our childhood experiences. In this episode, we discuss a question that adults frequently ask children, “So, what are you going to be when your grow up?”. It turns out that we had a lot to talk about. While Fireman, Policeman and Nurse were the most common jobs for children in the 60s, it turns out that a lot has changed. For us, future job considerations i included Gas Station Attendant, Politician, Veterinarian, Journalist and others. We discuss how our situations influenced our career pursuits, things we did (or didn’t do) to figure out if we really wanted to be that, why we changed our minds and influences from family members. As usual, we had some things in common and, also, not. Hope you enjoy!
