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!"

@Richard_Littler Early 70s, I said I wanted to work with computers. I was told it would never be possible as I wasn't doing maths/physics/chemistry A level. Ignored them (and the people who said 'You're good at English, you should be a secretary') and after a 46 year career in IT I think I've comprehensively proved them wrong.
