My parents were college educated and good at talking about professional goals for grown-up life and college curriculum.

But…It’s odd that they didn’t read me well and I remember my mother saying things like I should be a music major duh I’m not even good at that. They mentioned me being an occupational therapist because I was a little bit artistic and “good with my hands” but nooooo! ! I would have to work one on one with humans and probably even touch them. That is a big no.��

my brother had several short lived careers in his 20s: public relations for his college, radio Dj, paid political campaign worker all with a degree in journalism. Then he went back to school to get a two-year degree in respiratory therapy and that’s what he’s been doing for decades.
