Summary
Kids do not tell their parents that they want to be fixers when they grow up, nor do their parents pressure them into the occupation. Students do not study in school to be fixers or attend career fairs with fixer kiosks. Many accounts of becoming a fixer involve serendipitous encounters or friendships unexpectedly evolving into careers.
