    DS4 wants to be an engineer, doctor, architect, and dad -- all at the same time. He says he'll stay home with his kids 6 days a week and rotate through the jobs on the last day.

    DD6 - chemist or artist - the chemist has been a high runner since we saw an amazing chemistry demo put on at a local university two years ago. She wan't to "work in a lab and make things go boom!!!"

    DS8 - the latest one is to work at the LHC. Generally his ideas revolve around physics, math or engineering.

    Should be interesting to see where they end up... I would be surprised if DS strays away from STEM but DD is much more even so who knows where she'll find her passion in the end.

    DS8 wants to run a family hotel, like the wonderful place we go to once a year for skiing.
    Or teach physics in high school like his father, but not combine it with math but with chemistry.
    Recently he's come up with "what do you call the people who design what products look like? That's what I'd like to do...".
    He is excellent at drawing. I confess I've been checking out industrial design schools at night...I'm thinking materials science and then a graduate degree in art school...dear me, let's get him safely through the middle school years first!

    Asked again this morning, and dd3 wants to make toys. I don't think I have ever told her that she comes from a family fairly full of engineers.

    The last time this came up I asked her and she had wanted to be a Ninja, so I guess her career plans are still in flux.
