I was raised for a STEM career and ended up on Wall St, after sliding through engineering. Totally accidental. And I think my parents were not even aware there was such a thing as a career on Wall St or how to get there from a small city in Canada.

I keep telling DD that I am just keeping the options open for her. Maybe she won't need Chinese if she is a marine biologist. But if she is making deals around the world, it helps. If she wants to be president it helps knowing Chinese and spanish.

And cleaning toilets is an option too, but won't buy her a first class ticket anywhere.

Life plan mapping is enforcing the way she wants to live and how she can support it.
