I can’t vouch for the complete accuracy of this transcript. But it went something like this.
Teacher: “So what are you going to do for a career dear?”
Daughter (14): “Oh, I don’t know… Nothing. Everything.”
Teacher: “That’s not an answer. What do you mean?”
Daughter (14): “Sit on a beach somewhere. Work as a freelancer. Blog in my underwear.”
Teacher: “Oh dear… That’s not a proper job. How will you earn money?”
Daughter (14): “Not sure. I’d like to be earning a small passive income somehow. Perhaps from my blog and online shop.”
Teacher: “Yes… but what are you going to do?”
Daughter (14): “Whatever I want.”
Teacher: “Yes, but what about a job? A career?”
Daughter (14): [Sighs] “Actually Miss, I’m thinking about going to university. I’d like to be a lawyer or an accountant or a doctor.”
Teacher: “Oh, that’s nice! Good for you!”
