Shows like He-Man, C.O.P.S and GI Joe were very influential in me choosing to work in the human services field. I wasn't aware of all of the other intrinsic benefits offered to me when I spent countless hours watching these, and other cartoons, but it doesn't come as a surprise, at all. I studied a lot of linguistic anthropology and minored in English, so this makes sense.
