For those of you who have careers right now, or are working on them:
What lead you to it?
Do you like it or is it just a job to you?
After you got memories back would you rather be doing what you are in those memories?

I mean, I never really had much of an interest in economics. I just felt like I needed to get a degree in something practical and potentially profitable. Once it came time to look for an actual career, I decided I'd probably be miserable if I tried to be an investment banker or something, so I tried to think of something I could actually enjoy doing instead.

I don't think I would have taken the risk if I didn't already have that practical degree to fall back on if needed, though.

I guess that's fair. Economics probably helped with starting a business too, even if it's something like making clothes. It seems like there's a lot that goes into that if you're starting from scratch.

[But how does he feel about humanities?]

Not on the same level as a business degree, obviously, but it probably has helped me be a little more pragmatic, knowing how markets work and everything.

[ Eh. They're all right. ]

What brought on the questions anyway?

I realized I wasn't stuck in the profession I'd chosen when I was young. But I didn't know what I actually wanted to do.

I think staying on the same path your whole life is actually pretty rare. It's not like kids really have any conception of what it's like to do something every day for the rest of their lives.

Not really.
We haven't lived that long in comparison, and most of our time is taken up by school work.
