I'm curious for Farcaster folks, what professions are / were your parents in? How did it shape you growing up?

Nounish Prof ⌐◧-◧🎩

Dad was a dentist 🦷; mom was a dental assistant & ran his office. Brother became an endodontist (root canal specialist - and his daughter just took the DATs). I worked in the office for 2 weeks and went back to the Gap — it just wasn’t for me. Biggest way it shaped me — I never had a cavity until years after my dad passed. Other than that, I don’t think the profession itself had an impact on me but more generally the impact of going to college & having a profession did. He came from a family of immigrants (he was 2nd gen) and the fam needed a dentist so that what he did. They already had a doctor. Not as tight knit these days and no one really chooses professions that way anymore. (btw this is why one of my nouns is a 🦷)
