My dad was supportive of the career choices that my brother and I made but he wasn't really happy about my half brother's career choice.
My mom wanted me to grow up to be a parochial school teacher. lol. I grew up to be a truck driver.
My mom wanted my brother to grow up to be a pastor. He grew up to be a lineman.
My mom also wanted my half brother to grow up to be a pastor. He was unemployed for most of the time after he graduated from high school but now he works in the prison industry! I might even have some of his work attached to the front and back of my car! Yeah, definitely a disappointing career choice there!
"You betcha!" ... Mother wanted me to be an architect and my Father wanted me to be successful. (Zero for two)
My parents just wanted me to go to college. Anything after that was up for grabs.
When I went to law school, my mother asked if that would allow me to be a legal secretary. I said yes. She was pleased. :)
my parents let us decide for ourselves what we wanted to do
