Thinking about the future is good but asking what someone wants to be when they grow up is ridiculous. I barely know what I want to be. A better question is WHO do you want to be when you grow up? What kind of identity will you have, how will you treat others, what kind of human being will you be? It's still an extremely difficult question to answer, especially for a kid, but I think it's a question that really engages and makes you think about yourself and look inward. Who you are as a person is substantially more important than what you do to bring home the bacon. :)

Absolutely right. Identity is more than a job!
