Many parents would really love for their kids to be more like them. Whether it comes down to looks, life choices, or even careers — and it’s actually pretty cool when kids do pick the same careers as their parents. Some kids are so inspired by their parents that they end up pursuing the exact same careers their folks did.
Here are a few neat examples of kids following in their parents’ footsteps. This would make any parent proud.
