Education, as described by Don Berg, is “a process of attaining and assisting others to attain optimal attitudes that enable a person to perceive accurately, think clearly, and act effectively according to selfselected goals.” As we grew up in grade school we were taught through education, we could become that we desired. But our teachers failed to inform us on how outlining factors such as ethnicity and social status could influence what our career choice ended up being. Societies have already predetermined notions of what each individual has the capacity to become, so how can everyone be whatever they want?
 If a child comes from a poor community with low resources, society already pegs that child as unfit to become anything greater than what he/she already is.  The same could be said about ethnicity. Certain ethnicities expect their children to choose a certain career path, whether for themselves or their children.  This said it hard to determine if the freedom and ability for children to become whatever they dream of really applies.
The First thing I ever remember wanting to be is a pilot. I’ve always respected how birds could soar off to the skies at any time. I always threw my arms out and ran and jump off anything taller than I was. That was the plan until I turned 10 when influences around me swayed me into thinking being a pilot was too much to handle. From there I debate with what I wanted to be until I finally decide in high school that I wanted to be a psychologist. My final decision came from me finally disregarding what my parents and peers expected of me, and choosing what I wanted to do for myself
 Over the years my education also heavily factored in my decision to become a psychologist. I wanted to be a math teacher until I came across letters, wanted to work with computers until I realized all I would do is sit in front of a computer for the rest of my life. Education helped me discover what I truly wanted to do with my life.
I have realized over time the relationship between imagination, expectation, and career choices. You will always dream to become something, but reality and expectations will drive you to become something else. Only in understanding yourself will you be able to derive true fulfillment from your choice in career as well as other things.
I asked other people about the choice of what they want to be.
“I remember when I wanted to be an architect, but now I realize become an IT was a smarter choice.” -Ben, 35
“I want to be a dinosaur when I grow up” -Adam, 6
 I would reinvent the game chutes and ladders for kids to be more fitting.  Instead of kids playing the pieces would be career choices
The Rules of the game would be fairly similar with a few changes applied.
1. Each career choice is valid until you reach a slide, then a unhappy truth about you’re a career will be revealed and you have to choose another career.
2.
You can switch around careers as many times as you like but by the time you reach the end of the game you will asked what you would like to major in.
3.
Only those who know what they want to be at the end of the game can move on to college, while the rest will have to start again, only getting older as they play on.
