"E"

If you picked “E”, you’re right! Research clearly shows that parents are the #1 influence on their child’s career choice. That’s not surprising when you think about it. After all, from the very day your child was born, you have influenced many of his or her choices – through the advice you have provided and the examples you have set. Your children naturally look to you for leadership and guidance in all aspects of their lives, including choosing a career path.
