We often ask new people about what they do for work, and if they\u2019re in a transition period, the question becomes \u201cWhat are you going to do now?\u201d Whether they\u2019re graduating, starting a family, or about to retire, we are fascinated about career next steps. Is asking this a good way to get to know someone or does it come with certain expectations? \n\nHarv\u2019s daughters Harbani and Rymn join in to talk about getting this question as they graduate and the pressures they feel to know next steps. Olympic silver medallist Krista Guloien shares what it\u2019s like to retire from rowing at 33, and the challenges of finding a new career outside of sport. Stay-at-home mom Vania talks about why she wrote into the show about this question and handling the assumption she\u2019ll return to paid work. Psychology professor Anne Wilson discusses how our identities can become entwined with our careers and the problem with society\u2019s emphasis on finding your one true calling.\n\nFollow us!\nTwitter: @IQ_Podcast\nInstagram: @IQ_Podcast\n\nFor transcripts of this series, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/podcastnews/inappropriate-questions-transcripts-listen-1.6740372
