The good fortune of us Grans depended on our parents and then who we marry so we have two chances to prosper I don't suppose many of us put career first.
The genes you inherit determine who you are I inherited mums genes, quiet, studious and cautious. Wasnt really interested in boys until I was 16 and then very choosy who to date, eventually married an apprentice plumber, a smart one who quickly took on all building work and prospered
My sister inherited dads genes, risk taking, rebellious not interested in school, she spent all her breaks hanging out with the bad boys, eventually married one, give her two choices and she would always make the wrong choice.
Particularly for girls, the decisions you make in your teens shape your whole life
