Parents profession influence your career goals?

I grew up going to work in the oilfield with my dad…and it got in my blood, so here I am working in the oilfields of West Texas and I love it!

not really, I mean my dad is 20 odd grand in debt because he’s self employed and they won’t give him the money he;’s worked for for god knows how many years.

my mum has got a criminal record now for threatening to punch a woman (over reaction or what?) because she pissed her off so much… she works as a receptionist and a phlabottomist. she gets so much sh*t off the people that come there it sometimes gets too much.

I want to be a therapist, so I dunno where that came from. im fascinated by emotions, depression and stuff like that, the way the mind works… so yeah, I’d like to help people with mental illnesses. just because of my own reasons. :)

Actually, no.

My father was a miner (and my step-father also, after my dad’s death) - seemed to enjoy his job, but I really didn’t like the idea of going through dark tunnels in the ground.

My mother is a nurse, and alwaysloved her job…I can’t stand the sight of innards, so I made the decision not to do that on my own - not to mention I can’t handle death.

That brings me to where I am now - a chef, and loving it!

take peoples blood for tests and stuff.

what is a phlabottomist?
