To what extent did your parents' professions influence the profession you chose?

To what extent did the professions that your parents chose influence the profession that you chose?

I’m often googling bios of famous people (Wiki pages, etc.), and oftentimes, their parents were in show business and so I’m sure that played a part in their looking up to their parents, being around the set, having mommy or daddy help out with contacts to get them started. Also was thinking about friends and relatives who were in the military and the son ended up in the military, my guess is that the father talked up the benefits of military service. These are just a small example of possibilities, and just my speculating.

My mom worked high up in the government but in my case, she was not pushing me into a job like that. She actually wanted me to be a teacher, which of course is a government job too, but not a regular civil service job. She was active in various unions throughout her career, and was proud that I was also active in my union.
