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 My high school didn’t have a career advisor. It did have a college counselor. When she saw my standardized-test scores, she was very excited. The sky’s the limit. When she later saw my grades, she suggested I enlist in the military. I didn’t.

@adamrice @Richard_Littler Same. My high school’s idea of career counseling was to bring in recruiters.
I also scored well on tests, and had bad grades. Turns out that’s common with autistics. Who knew?
