ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Frank Parsons (school counselor)

Frank Parsons was a really smart and kind grown-up who helped kids and teenagers figure out what they wanted to do when they grow up.
He used to work in schools as a counselor and talked to kids about their interests, hobbies and dreams for the future.
Then he helped them explore different jobs that they might enjoy based on what they liked to do.
For example, if a kid loved to draw, he would suggest jobs like a painter or graphic designer.
He also helped kids plan out what kind of education or training they would need to get those jobs.
Frank Parsons wanted to make sure that every kid had a chance to live a happy and fulfilling life doing something they loved.
