Did you know what career you wanted when you were in fifth-grade?

At last night’s 5th-grade graduation the teachers presented a slideshow of the 5th-graders holding signs with a chalkboard written with what career they wanted to have when they were grown. There were signs that said various types of engineers, doctors, scientists,architects, a couple of astronauts, some athletes, dental hygienists, Starbucks baristas, and funny that about 25% said You-Tubers. Not one person said lawyer, preacher, or teacher.

Lol my little nephew when he graduated from kindergarten, the teacher went down the list asking what each child wanted to be. She came to my 4 year old nephew and asked. He looked up and smiled before replying, "a rodeo clown". There wasn't a person in the audience that could stifle their laughter. I have the video saved and when he graduates from high school and college I will be playing it for him once again.

@Fungirlmmm I wonder how many months a year a rodeo clown can work? Sounds like fun if you like adrenaline surges.
