Most people don't end up doing what they first set out to — so why are we still asking kids what they want to be when they grow up? Candy Ho joins Shane Hewitt to unpack how early career expectations can limit real potential. They break down CERIC's new Career Myth Buster quiz and reveal why shifting paths, trying new things, and even failing are all signs of growth — not failure.

With warmth and clarity, Candy explains how fixed ideas about careers can close doors, and how asking better questions — like “What are you good at?” or “What lights you up?” — leads to stronger futures. They also talk about the pressure parents feel, and how to reframe success when the job market is constantly changing.

It’s a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to rethink direction — and that planning should always include possibility.
