The Opportunity Collective

Stop asking this question


Listen Later

Adults continue to ask kids, "what do you want to be when you grow up?".



This question, while innocent, has, in my mind, expired. Life does not follow the old script of doing one job for your entire life. 


But even though that question is not helpful, we can still learn how to navigate our careers with the practical mindset of a child. 


Let's change the question from," what do you want to be when you grow up?" to "what jobs (or games) do you want to try."
