: : : : How do you chose your profession or future profession? What influenced your decision? Did you have any career counciling to help you make your decision?

: I had worked two years as a Grounds Keeper supervisor.  I really wasn't enjoying the job.  I wanted to do something else.  My mother and father were listening to me whining and my mother said "Why don't you be a nurse?  You always want to take care of people."  Voila, I am now a Nurse.
As a male, were you encouraged to be a doctor or pharmicist since nursing has been stereoypically a female dominated profession?
