Angelina Rivera's childhood experience with police behavior in Honduras shaped her interest in politics and led her to a diplomatic career. This story underscores how early life experiences can pivot a person’s career path, highlighting the importance of exposing children to various professions. Experts advocate for early discussions about career opportunities to prevent kids from self-limiting based on societal stereotypes related to gender or race. Encouraging curiosity about different jobs can help broaden children's perspectives, fostering more diverse aspirations as they grow.

Developmental psychologists and career counselors recommend exposing children to a wide variety of career paths at a young age.
