What career advice were you given as a young person and what do you actually do now?

I was just talking to my daughter about careers and was reminded of her visit to the career adviser at school. She was told the perfect career for her was to be a jockey. Now given she can’t ride, doesn’t like horses and is slim but not waif like, this is very weird career advice. So, what were you advised would be a good career for you when you were young and where did you end up?
