Same career as my Dad.
Never have felt like I have a job and can't imagine doing anything else.

Why. If they are lawyers or drs, they have a business already to step in to.

Was your dad a garbage man or something?

I chose to follow my Dad's footsteps at the age of 28, He helped me get my foot in the door and I could never repay him for that. As far as not feeling rewarding enough, I consider my job a means to an end not what I look to for enrichment. I look to fishing and hunting and other hobbies to enrich my soul and the six figure a year job helps facilitate those activities.

Obviously it's different if you're taking over a family business or something.
Why would that be any different? It's still a child choosing the same career as their parent.
My mother is an educator, I thought about teaching for a while but realized I didn't have the patience for it.
It would have been pretty difficult to follow in my dad's footsteps.

3rd generation farmer. Really 5th or beyond.
I only know my peoples past back to my great-great-grandfather. He was a shite head apparently so my less of a shite head, but still a shite head, great-grandfather ran away and began working on, and eventually owning, a land clearing operation.
He ended up coming back and farming in his later years with my grandfather, who was a great man, not a shite head. God bless my great grandmother for raising him properly, thus him being a great father to my father, who is a great father to me.

I left college my junior year because I wanted to join the family business. My father is a medical doctor, and it's all about who you know.

Absolutely no problem in following my Dad in being a pilot. Granted, I ended up in something different, but not because I found it odd.

Bill Belichick agrees with this

Similar personality traits, interests, and strengths as your parents is super weird? I thought it was just genetics

I followed in my Dad's footsteps. I'm very happy. To each his own.

Did you really just play the "I make shitloads of money without a degree" card?
Congrats on your plant operator job...

You wish. That would make you feel better about yourself.
Also never claimed I made shitloads, just more than the two of them combined.

No, because I work in the technology sector and it wasn't available when they were in college.

Ended up in the same career field but not the same discipline. It wasn't by design. Tried something different, couldn't stand the mentalities of my peers but I enjoyed being around military folks more. It is very common to find multiple generations of families continuing in the military.

My uncle's wife is a doctor. Has two brothers that are both doctors and one sister that is a NP. Their dad is a doctor, but they never talk about doctor stuff around each other
