Birth order influence

One of the things that can shape your personality at an early age is if you are the oldest sibling, the middle one, the youngest or an only child. Firstorns tend to be reliable, cautious, controlling, perfectionists and achivers. That's because they were born to a couple with no earlier experience that are raising them instinctively, by trying diffrent methods and often being strict and oversensitive. Those children were also in the center of attention and learning a lot from parents, which can make them smart and succesul. Later on they do more chores or watch over younger siblings, which puts a pressure on them with negative results of trying to be perfect. The middle child is often a people pleaser, peacemaker, thrives of friendship and is often left out due to having less attention than other siblings. Youngest of the siblings are mostly outgoing, free-spirited, fun-loving, but manipulative and attention-seekers. Those positive traits come from having more experienced parents and by probably not being the smartest, getting attention with their natural charm and social personality. The negative ones are results of being compared to older siblings. Being an only child comes with having all the attention and support of parents but having to meet their expectations. They are a great part like the oldest sibling, perfectionists, leaders and mature for their age. source : https://www.parents.com/baby/development/social/birth-order-and-personality/

Childhood influence on career

Our careers can be determined by survival strategies we developed as children and cultures we grew up in. As children we learned to search for a feedback on what we should or shouldn't do, especially for living. For example, being the child who had to cheer up a depressed parent might result in becoming a comedian, psychologist or a caregiver. Another thing that may be important in that aspect of our childhood are cultural messages we hear. Paople collectively think there that one job is more respected than the other, which can even be shamed. As children, we absorb that opinions and they often make us to give up our drem jobs. Even though we often forget those messages and our survival strategies, they still stick to us unconsciously when we try to figure out our career path. source : https://www.flourishsummit.com/2016/07/19/does-your-childhood-influence-your-career-choices/
