"Whatcha gunna be when you grow up?"

I imagine someone has already asked what you'd like to do when you grow up.  For a time, Brock was interested in becoming a doctor.  Sasha has mentioned weapons design, and also working at a fish hatchery.  By the way, I found very interesting information published by the US Fish & Wildlife Service here:  National Fish Hatchery System

Hope you are imagining what it might be like to work in various jobs, and exploring your interests while you're going through school.  I think Sasha would be quite happy if his work involves design and possibly art work, interacting with people on a regular basis, and especially spending time outdoors.  I think Brock may be interested in a career in one of the sciences, as he is great at math and enjoys learning about the world around him (especially astronomy).

Remember, day dreaming is important!!  You have plenty of time to consider your best options.

Not long ago Sasha and I talked about the death of Steve Jobs, a phenomenally successful entrepreneur and the founder of Apple Computer.  Read this quote from the commencement address he delivered at Stanford University in 2005:
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. "
