Subject: when u grow up
also interesting that all of us need health care, shelter, food & clothing but NONE of us get that for free here in the U.S. (and THAT hasn't changed one bit). when did we stop taking those things for granted and develop a system in which we have to PAY?
lol i was 8 when this film was made and i could not tell you what i wanted to be when i grew up. i still can't tell u and i am 44! :D

Subject: Nice Film Nostalgia Sweet More Innocent Time
The reality is certain jobs are more accepted for certain genders and you will recieve discrimination, especially if you expect to be treated the same way among everyone. Certain groups may accept you, but not every group.
This is just a sweet movie [love the music] of some adults trying to give young people the best advice they could give.
Subject: Well done for 1973
