Both my parents had the same jobs from the age of 16 until they retired. These days, that’s pretty much unheard of.

The reality for most of us is that there’s no such thing as a “job for life” anymore. And that’s not a bad thing either.

Maybe a train driver or an astronaut? My nephew wanted to be a tractor. Clearly, he does not want to be a tractor now.
