TIL my family's push for a usual job almost made me skip what I love

Old career tips from relatives almost led me to a job I would hate.

My aunt pushed me hard to study law back in high school. She kept saying it was the only way to make good money and have a steady life. I totally blew her off and went for graphic design instead. Now I'm doing alright, but she still mentions it every Thanksgiving. Kinda crazy how family advice can mess with your head sometimes.

Your story, @eric_wells99, shows how family often pushes 'safe' careers, ignoring what actually makes people happy.

Honestly, how many Thanksgivings has it been since you chose design over law?
