[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who's an occupational therapist and it seems like a really fantastic job. She's gotten to live overseas, work in a lot of different settings, go part time when her kid was young, be both physical and smart. I have another friend who's a physical therapist and it also seems great. (He's a bookish kind of guy who was in a philosophy PhD program before going to PT school so my conclusion from that is that many types of people enjoy that career.)

I think it's great that you're being proactive with this for your daughter. I'm in my mid-40s now, but still remember how lost I felt in my teens and 20s, just feeling like I really had no idea what careers were even out there beyond doctor or lawyer. (I became a lawyer, decided I hated it, and do something else now.)

If it'd been a more ambitious or proactive person - or, had the internet existed when I was younger - I'm sure I could have discovered much of this for myself. As it is it took many years of exploring and talking to people and learning, even to get a sense of how big the world is.
