So I just finished reading Divergent which made me think, would I want to do what my parents do for a living? Would you?

My mother's a nurse and my father is an accountant.

So, uh... no thanks.

My mom's job doesn't pay much and it's tough and boring work, so no.
My dad's work pays ok, but it's tough, he has to work holidays/overtime/weekends, and they don't hire women for the position. No again.

My dad is the boss of all the French Walmart like supermarkets in southwest Spain, but it's an office work, and I don't like offices, so no.

my mum is a cleaner so HELL NO and my dad is basically a handy man and works long hours. Both are on Min. wage so there is another reason for no

My mother is a housewife and my father is a building inspector, I'd probably die of boredom.

Wow seems like most people wouldn't. Personally I don't think I would, Lockheed Martin seems kinda boring. Rather work in IT.

My dad got terrible grades in school and became a postman.

My mum got decent grades and works in a charity shop.

My brother got good grades and is now in an apprenticeship of marketing for a business.

I got good grades (if you consider Cs good) in all but history and R.E which I failed and Performing Arts which I got 4 Bs in :D and I want a career in art or something, Not decided yet...

It seems we've all taken different routes :D so no

No. My dad does some sort of computer programming support something or other. He makes good money but not my interest. My mom is a stay at home mom but she works online as a doula teacher or something like that. She teaches people how to be doulas at an online university. Or something ish like that. She used to work as a doula but stopped cause she got too busy with her 4 kids. I want to be an actor, well I already am an actor but I want to stay an actor lol.

Teaching children with learning difficulties or making websites are things I have nothing against doing, but I'll stay with what I like much more.

My mum is the learning resources manager & librarian in a secondary school and my dad works on the track at Land Rover making cars. I don't like children and I'm not really looking for such a manual job so no I wouldn't want to do either.

Nope, it's not because of money, it's because I'm not interested in what they do at all, while they do something more in the mathematical field I'm more into humanities I'd say.

Naah.. The whole point of him working really hard is for me and my brother to not end up like him.
