school talent shows, take your kid to work day

Good point on both. I've never experienced either myself, but I just kind of assumed they were still done somewhere.

talent shows for sure real.

Take your kid to work seems to have decreased as people realized it really only (safely) works out for office jobs, and trying to entertain a child and get work done is no small feat.

I've never seen a career day where you bring your parent to school to talk about their jobs.

Apparently they are still done somewhere. I just don't know anyone irl that has done them. Well I haven't conducted a poll, so maybe I have and just don't know it.

Both existed when I was a kid (in Canada)
