This is actually true!!
I grew up watching Indiana Jones movies, and I got so obsessed with being an archeologist! I even learned everything about Ancient Egypt and Rome starting from grade 4, and I just couldn’t wait to dig up stuff!!
Then my brother shattered my dreams by saying that “People with archeology degrees don’t have a future. I know someone with an archeology degree and they don’t have a job.” For some reason I really believed it, and totally ditched my dream.
Thanks to my brother, if it weren’t for his negativity that shattered my dreams, I could have been digging up cool stuff and living an exciting life!!
