Have you ever asked what your MD/boss' adult children do for a living?

Ever since I learned that experimental musician Arca's father was an investment banker, I've always been curious about what descendants of academic/professional prestige go on to do. Another example is Douglas Hofstadter's daughter being a textile designer. Or, of course, the Hiltons...

in my experience it's target school + student athlete + BB IB, wondering if this is typical

Totally. Most regular answer has been: IB, Consulting, PE, Marketing/Ads, PR, Law, and non-profit. These kids are usually bought up in pretty type-A families and usually end up going to pretty type-A careers. Nothing super special and I might add a not so surprising lack of entrepreneurs outside of the “influencer” type in two cases.
