My Two Cents:
When I was younger, I wanted to become an astronaut. Only because my idol at the time was Punky Brewster, and I wanted to be like her. Just like Punky, I stopped dreaming about becoming an astronaut after the Challenger tragedy.
In relation to this story, I think this is an excellent opportunity for those who are looking to change up their career.
