I had a professor when I was in the education program at university who was keen on distinguishing between asking students what they want to do versus what they want to be.
His distinction focused on what he perceived is the deeper intrinsic value of asking a student what they want to be. I took that to mean that asking what someone wants to do is more superfluous and doesn't create a deeper connection to the path that one might want to take.
I do believe that what you want to be is a more intrinsic understanding of a persons passion and desire to become something.
Great instructors and individuals inspire passion and being in others, so let's all try to be and encourage others to be.
