My son is 5 years old and he has made the same comment to me on several occasions. I can remember him personally asking me what would I do if I lost my job today. Of course he was hoping we could play cars and read books all day but it definately got me thinking about avenues outside of my current line of work. It is amazing how much you can learn by actively paying attention to the questions your children ask. Thanks again. Great Post!

I think you're right, children more and more see circumstances of their parents and become more aware and they easily adapt to change... Changing careers is just one example. I see it especially in my country. 20 years ago in my country we did not have private property, but the government owned all companies... In such country people are working in one company for their entire life. There are even people who have done the same job for 20 years... The transition from state ownership to private ownership has created a big change in the understanding of term "job." It is still difficult for people to change their mindset... Simply put, (worldwide) things are changing faster and faster, and every next generation will easier adapt to change...
