Just recalled my school work experience.
Career advisor: "What's your dream placement? Think big!"
Me: "I'd like to work in TV, film or..."
Career advisor: "What's your dad's job?"
Me: "Sales rep in a menswear firm"
Career advisor: "Ok, so I'm placing you in a dept store in menswear. Have fun!"

I was assessed in my 3rd year at high school (1966). I was good at Geography, English and Art. I was hopeless at maths and the sciences. One look at my school reports would have shown that.
When asked what I wanted to be when I left school, for some unknown reason, I said Radiographer. So they put me in the science stream.
I never learned another thing for two years.
