Did you take after your Father's Profession?

well i will become a doctor as I'm in MBBS now. But my dad is a business man. But i will surely help him to increase his business. I won't take after his business but i will help his business to build up in a great sector.

Hmmmm... Maybe I can say, I'm going there? Haha. My mom is a CE and a Nurse, and my dad is a CE and a lawyer... I'm an RN, and taking up nursing was not even my choice. My mom forced me, like really forced me to take it, and so I did. Now, taking up medicine has always been my dream. So, right after graduation they permitted me to pursue that dream. But recently, they took away that dream again, after they learned how much med school costs. So, they gave me the options either to work as a nurse (where the salary rarely compensates for your hard work)or to take up law (which my dad REALLY wanted me to take since i was like, 5? --- not to mention it's way cheaper than medicine). So... I chose to enroll in law school where I don't have to worry about living costs, plus, I have a regular allowance! Haha! LOL =]

My father had the profession of an auto mechanic. i am as far from being that as you can get. i would not have to worry about my services being needed by the fast and the furious.

Hello!I'm engaged in professional with my father's different.As a father,indeed hope their children the professional same at him.But,the social development too fast,professional connotation will also be changing,and that also makes many people the profession that pursues generation of occupation not the same one reason.

hello friend! my father is alive now and i do not want to take his profession.i am a student of medical university and my father is a business man.so i do not want to be like him because i do not like business i like to help people when they need me.i really want to be a great doctor and make my father proud on me. thanks a lot.

Wow, good luck to your nephew! It must be excruciating for him to wait for the results! As for me, I took my first degree because my father had somehow "influenced" me in taking it. I was only high school, but he already kept telling me about what his degree promises (though he isn't practicing his profession anymore). So it was a natural choice for me when I had to go to college.

nope! nor my mothers! my father was a chef and my mother was a florist and i am horrible at doing both things! i cant cook and dislike gardening. what i really am is an artist and writer but since i like to eat, i work as a secretary part time.

Hi In a way I did. So did my brother. My father is a mechanical engineer, and even I did my Mechanical engineering, and my younger brother followed suit. But the professions we chose are different. I am now a Marine Engineer sailing as Chief Engineer. My father did his Shipping management and was a senior shipping manager before he retired. My brother shifted to software engineering.

I guess I take my Dad's profession. My Dad is a cook, I think I take his good cooing skill, I'm somebody's wife now so I have to cook everyday. My husband likes my cooking and thinks am a very good chief, I get good compliment from him all the time.

In our family, nobody did took after our dad's profession. But my youngest sister did take up what my dad wanted to be. My dad wanted to be a lawyer too. He went to school when we were young. But for some reason or another, he had to give up his dream. He never pursued it anymore. Then when my youngest sister went and became a lawyer, she fulfilled his dream for him.

I'm the opposite of my father he works hard - i'm sooo lazy :P About the profession not really :)

I didn't take my father's profession because I want a different one. My father is cool with it so it's alright with me too.

My father was a cop and after finishing high school, I told him that I wanted to become like him but he immediately told me that it is not going to happen. He told me that it is not easy becoming one. He fears that things might go wrong on training camp and worse is things might get out of hand when I graduate and be on the streets keeping the peace. He keeps on saying that it is dangerous. I followed what he told me and became a nurse instead. Too bad that in my country, its flooding with nurses. And now, it is so hard to be employed.
