This woman is clearly a Gemini!!! We start, get board, then start a new project. However, we are great thinkers and find solutions from other people. We listen and say "ummm", great idea! Being abnormal is better than being one of the norm.

probably two years old. It still does because I am grown up and I am many things, but nothing respected at the same time. What I do and have done is not valued, paid, or recognized as being a legitimate profession.

I was around six when asked and I responded that I wanted to be a doctor. I grew anxious when I was asked why I planned to take chemistry in college when they knew I wanted to be a doctor. Their idea was that it would take me away from becoming a doctor.

The first time someone asked me this question, I was 4-5. It only caused me anxiety when I grew up because if I don't know what I want to do in the future, I will lost time at school trying to find what I want to do.

Maybe at 4 or 5, and I don't believe it cause me anxiety

I do not remember being asked that question, though I do remember what I was thinking to become while I was little, pupil in the first school years. that time I was thinking about becoming a teacher. Later on I changed my mind a bit when i noticed I was interested in geography. Even though by studying that discipline, becoming a geography teacher is the most likely thing to happen, there are other opportunities as well. Then at the college I chose forestry and I never got a job related to this training. Now I ended up working in a foreign country as a greenhouse worker. I am not happy with my job, therefore I tried to change it but I noticed that it takes too much effort than I was expecting. So I gave up. Now I am still thinking about a change, working on it but without any specific purpose because I am afraid of an eventual failure or a lack of interest.

Asked that many times - and in different words as i got older too at school, at university and even after that
Often I have said it myself to others (as a sort of joke) - "I don't know what I want to do when i grow up"
The presenter is right - it's a pressure and causes anxiety at whatever age

I was asked for the first time by my nursery teacher and I was 5 years old.
I used to answer this question by mentioning various fields, but while growing up I felt that I should be more serious about how to answer this question and since then this anxious feeling controls me and made me missed my path in life and maybe my philosophy too.

I don't exactly remember my age but i was asked what my aim was and i responded "I dont know",At 22 after graduating in Computer Science I still don't know.

I can't remember that... My family never guided me into "my true vocation", because they are teachers, son they know that it's a personal decision, and it's a nonsense to limit you into "an artist", "a humanist (literature, sociology, etc.)" or "a scientific/matematician". In Chile it's very common to do that, and it lead you to a specific career, but in my case, I was raised to be a renacentist xD
I'm pretty good at maths and sciences, so I studied environmental eng., but also learned about sports, arts and politics... I'm not very good at that, but I like that, and sometimes it's even useful!

Now I'm a professional, in a job that I don't like just because of the absence of challenges and the low expectatives ("they pay you to be in your sit"), and after a little depression period, now I'm looking for another job, different and probably with less money, but I've accepted that I'm not able to live and die doing the same boring thing.
