It typically begins with an innocuous question like \u2018what do you want to be when you grow up?\u2019 Now, I realize my 11 year old son will likely change this answer a hundred times before entering the work force, but as an inquisitive father, I ask. The brief conversation then leads us along the path of \u2018what classes do you like?\u2019 and \u2018what are your interests?\u2019 We chat about what school assignments have been exciting, which were painful, and which ones would fit in careers of their interest. It\u2019s usually a quick conversation that ends in a shrug or two, and I\u2019m left contemplating much more than originally planned.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/logo.png","thumbnail_width":1779,"thumbnail_height":417}
