Do lots of your family members tend to have the same job/career?

[Meltingchocolate24]

It tends to be teaching in my family including me, my sibling, several cousins and in-laws. I have lots of teacher and TA friends too. I wish we had a doctor in the family but we don’t have anyone in medicine at all!

No, all completely different. Nurse, accountant, land agent, hr, teacher, it, lawyer.

We don't really have a 'family profession'.

No, I'm a financial adviser. Dad was an Engineer, Mum was admin. Two cousins teachers, an accountant, retail assistant and trader.

Not in my family, but DH's parents were both teachers.

Not so much the same industry but more the same sort of tasks and skillset.

On my mums side pretty much everyone teaches. Aunts, uncles, cousins, and most of the cousins married teachers too.

The rest of the family not so much, QS, architect, doctor, project manager

Several teachers and nurses

Go back a couple of generations and all the women in my family were teachers. I don’t think that shows a great commitment to teaching though - just that there were a lot of clever women in my family and teaching was the only real option available.

No, not at all. I was the first to stay in school past 15, so the first to have a professional job. My family has worked mostly as labourers, street sweepers, bin men, shop workers, delivery men, childminders, farm work.

Nope all completely different!

4 doctors, 4 teachers and a niece who plans to be a teacher. I'm neither of those.

Lots of teachers on both sides of my family:

One of my grandmothers, my mother, my mother-in-law, my stepmother, two aunts, three cousins, my husband (but only very briefly), one sister, one daughter, one (probable) future son-in-law. One niece is due to start teacher training in September!

Otherwise it's a fairly mixed bag.

My brother, brother in law, and one nephew are carpenters. My youngest son currently doing his GCSEs is going to college in September to start Carpentry. (He's also interested in Construction, and engineering otherwise if he changes career direction).

Plenty of musicians, artists, writers on both sides!

Three paper makers. Two in the Police. Three retail workers.

Similar story here. Mainly factory work and driving. I'm a lawyer.

Mu siblings and I all did degrees in different subjects but now all work in the public sector, civil service, education, prison service.

No siblings, but my Dad was a Building Consultant - I worked for him for a while, but after that have been a Medical Secretary, Legal Secretary, MDS and Store Advisor.

DH is one of four. DF was a bus driver, him and his siblings are Manager of major shower designer/supplier, Civil Servant, Factory Worker and Hairdresser/Receptionist in second job. My Uncle was a Heating Design Engineer, his sons Manager of a car distribution garage and Graphic Designer. So no one we know in immediate family has carried on same job.

Not specifically my side, although 3 are in project management type roles.
DHs side are all teachers or academics! Aunts, uncles, cousins, the lot! Most of them have PHDs and they all have at least 3 kids. We are proper outcasts with our non academic/education based jobs and one child 🤣

Yep, most of my family work in the NHS at different levels, one sister works in a school . Our parents both worked in the NHS

It seems to be mostly a combination of teaching and a variety of performing arts with our lot.

Fairly mixed really! Several musical types, but none as a professional musician. My wider family with cousins- not just siblings!
Mechanical engineer, Nurse practitioner, Hairdresser, Cleaner, Geologist, Primary teacher, Army Major, Farmer, IT Consultant, Accountant and Solicitor. So mixed!

Not the same job or professions but sector - every member of my immediate family, and DH too, either currently works for the NHS or has done so at some point. All different things, from quite senior clinical roles to minimum wage admin.

My mum, me and my daughter all nurses.

No, my siblings and I have very different jobs to each other. Our parents didn't have similar jobs to any of us, or each other either!

Yes immediate family mostly health care.
Extended family seem to be majority teachers.
