What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

"A simple question that we are asked at a young age, that has a massive impact on our view on career and success as adults. Six people sit down and share their experience of this."

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Simple question asked to kids with a complex view as we grow older. As a child we are obliged to look in only one direction, which leaves adults defeated when the question is not fulfilled. We sat down with people who have multiple jobs, changed jobs or don’t believe in the word "careers". Here they recall their experiences and reveal their views on the working culture.

56 Up

When a cross-section of seven-year-olds were interviewed for 7 Up in 1964 it was immediately evident that their social backgrounds influenced their attitudes towards life. While the upper class children were confident and self-assured, those from middle and working class backgrounds were resigned to a challenging life of hard work. This premise was put to the test every seven years when the same group were interviewed about the progression of their lives. 49 years in the making, the changes that occurred to the original 14 make for fascinating television and are in many ways the stories of all our lives. From success and disappointment, marriage and childbirth, to poverty and illness, nearly every facet of life has been captured on film. Now, at the age of 56, the group are once more brought together and, with the benefit of hindsight, assess whether their lives have been ruled by circumstance or self-determination.
