I dont hate my job but I see at as a means to an end as probably most people do. I think if you are lucky enough to be doing a job you love then that is great but does not tend to happen very often. Kids need to know about the realities of life but I think its great to encourage them to follow a career that they will be happy doing. My DD knows exactly what she wants to do and is taking the appropiate exams to help her acieve her goals. I will give her all the support I can but the reality is she may not end up loving her job only time will tell.
