as a parent, i want my kids to go to college with a plan in mind so as to not just founder around piling up debt & ultimately (hopefully) getting a degree that maybe isn't of any use.
my day to day focus growing up was definitely not on the future. nothing really interested me long-term to a level where i chased it with a plan.. so i'm not sure if this is something we're born with or something people stumbled upon while trying out many new things as kids.
i know people who said things like "oh, i knew i wanted to be an architect since i was like 6". they always had the passion for a single thing, the drive to pursue it and the ability to stay on task from youth to middle-age.
and still other people who were able to pursue many, many different options until they hit on something they really loved and decided would be their future.
my questions then are:
if you were someone with a passion at an early age.. did you pursue it? how? how's it going today?
if you were someone who tried on many hats and found one that fit.. were you naturally curious? did your parents push you to constant new adventures?
