“What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s a question imposed on us from childhood (as if kids have any real concept of what “career” really means).

Cue the motivational speakers and self-proclaimed life coaches who ask questions like “What job would you do for free?” or “If you could quit your current job and do anything, what would it be? No limits!” It’s the adult version of “what do you want to be when you grow up?”
