Both my parents are professors, and I never really saw people do any other jobs, so I didn't really know how to want a different kind of job.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mother wanted me to be a professor, because I have several people in my family who are professors at university.
My parents never told me to get a real job. They always said, 'Go for it! If this is what you want to do, work hard.' They were always very supportive.
My mother is an office manager, my father a professor of economics and financial planner.
My parents wanted me to work in a bank or as an accountant.
I come from a family of working professionals: my dad is a chartered accountant, and my mom is a professor.
My father is a retired army captain and banking software salesman, and my mother is an English teacher.
My dad worked for a generator company and then UC Berkeley, and my mom was as a dental hygienist and then eventually a history teacher. My uncles and aunts, all of them are elementary school teachers or scientists.
My parents were farmers' kids from South Dakota. My dad was an engineer. I wanted to be responsible and major in something pragmatic.
My parents have always done what they've loved, and they've had many different careers.
I think my parents love that I want to do something a little different than what they do.
