Sorry to get off topic here, but if this situation is true with professionals today, it's be much better than the situation with "professionals" in previous centuries. Back then, there were fewer people to fill all the jobs, with several having jobs in more than 1 "industry", not to mention all the nepotism. Think about it: would you rather be in an industry because of your parents, that you don't like, where nobody is really an expert, or an industry you like being in, where you can get a lot of help, where people actually know what they're doing?
