State
Career inheritance is the interactionist finding that children tend to enter occupations like their parents', learned through exposure to career norms.
Show
A child of a police officer absorbs law enforcement's norms before choosing a career, making that path feel familiar rather than foreign.
Watch for
Career inheritance describes a correlational pattern in socialization, not a claim a child's occupation is fixed by parentage.
