Paying the way forward

Hi Guys,


i have a family friend from a very humble working class background who has a kid in high school. The kind is doing great for his class and I want to shine a light on IB/PE as a career path for him since no one in his community would be able to teach him about the industry. 
 

question is, how/from who/when did you first learn about the industry? What pushed you to start taking steps in that direction?
