Perhaps she doesn’t want to be a surgeon? Or even a doctor?

This is imho a combination of screen culture which means little ones don't spend hours playing with dough, bricks, paints, crayons, etc at home, and the scandalous reduction of the primary curriculum to marginalise anything which could be done for 'fun' and sideline things not related to Maths, Science or English.
