If you have a boy, which career do you want to guide him follow up?

l dont know.but i dont want him to be a teacher.

I've got a little boy who is 2 1/2 and I have thought about what he might be when he grows up, but it's not up to me. I hope that I can teach him that he doesn't have to have the most 'impressive' job in the world, but that he has the opportunity to do something he really enjoys. If my kids likes working with his hands or working with people I wont try to steer him towards a cubical job. It is so important to have people doing heavy industry job, that's what makes the world go around, the people behind 'thank less' jobs. I hope my child will turn into a man who can choose a career for himself, one that can do some good, and not one that he thinks will impress others.

We need welders and technicians. They are certainly respectable jobs, as are many jobs that most people probably would never think of or even know of. I want my son's and my daughter to find a carreer that they love and enjoy and that makes them happy. Hopefully they will be successful at what ever they do and I of course want them to be successful, but I also want them to be happy.

I would like my son to become a pinball wizard. I want to see him win the world champion of pinball and hold the trophy. He could get tons of endorsements and maybe go on Jay Leno. He would then marry a country singer that he met on the Jay Leno show. He would buy me a new house and car. His wife would also sing us Christmas carols on Christmas day, cause she's a country singer. :)

You are so very right. Parents always want their child in profession that pays extermly and has a title. Im not saying that is a bad thing but kids need to find themselves when it comes to career choices. One of my sons is in the sales industry and he makes good money for the area he lives in. My other son is in heavy equipment field which also pays well for our area we live in. Now days for kids to get a job is an accomplishment no matter what field of work it is. The kids of today are spoiled and we all know this.

Hey, those fields are nearing saturation. Soon there will be little scope there. I wouldnt want my son to be unemployed! Doctor may still be ok. But frankly, it is his life. I cant be living his life for him. He has to like what he does, more correctly enjoy what he does. If he enjoys his work, he will do better, and eventually reach all possible heights. So it is up to him. Of course, I will explain to him which job requires how much of effort, and the possibility of stagnating at certain levels. But decision will invariably his. My duty is merely to guide him and make him aware of opportunities.

The best career option in todays era for a boy or a girl in my knowledge is in the field of biotechnology / bioinformatics. Biotechnology sector is rising at a rapid speed globally and more and more skilled professionals are needed in this field and the need for professionals will be rising in coming years. A candidate with good academic background in the field of life sciences can enter this field. The one with more interest in biology can enter for biotechnology and one with mixed interests in biology, computation and mathematics can go for bioinformatics

Hi My primary aim is to provide them good education and I wish they become good human beings. I am not at all bother about their career selection and they are free do according to their choice. I do respect all sectors and each work needs sincerity and dedication. Presently my kids are small and let them grow and achieve what they can and there won’t be any forcing/pushing from us.

just let him choose the one he loves, then later he will not complain everybody. choose the one based on his interest.

Hi ngh, well I believe that my son will have to make his own choices when he is grown but we've already agreed that fire fighting is a no no as I'd be scared stiff. He will start off with a huge advantage as has natural language skills and is already total bi- lingual at age ten and can easily pick up other languages.I sometimes feel that he has the makings of a rather despotic leader but it will be his choice, but I wouldn't expect him to do anything in the scientific field as he is not naturally inclined that way. It will be necessary though for him to become financially independant.

many parents tend to force their children to join professions which they had dreamt of and could nto fulfil or many parents expect too much from their chldren and wish them to become doctors or engineers etc. keeping these desires in mind parents forget the their children are different individuals and have their own dreams and desires. they must be allowed to explore their own desires and talents. when children are allowed to chose their own field of profession they excel better in them. if parents too join children in eploring their talents then children would not only love to be parents but also get a motivation from them and would sho better performances.

whether i would have a boy or girl i would want them to choose their own path and follow the studies that will meet that end. i was told what to study in school and never got the pursue my dream which was music, still is, that is my one regret. i would let my little one forge their way, all that you can do is advise then see what happens, i would want my child to be happy, but at the same time be sensible and have something going on that would earn enough money to live on.

We decided that we would let any children we have choose their own careers though I can imagine myself hiding an LSAT book in my son's room....

To be honest i wouldnt really mind what my son would want to do for a careeer as long as he is happy but my partner doesnt want him to work in the motor trade like we do and follow in his fathers footsteps and become a mechanic, he said its a horrible trade to work in. It might well be for him out in a cold workshop, i quite like it in the nice warm office out front

I believe that a parent should not interfere with their childrens job choice. They should be thankful the child grew up and got a job If a certain career makes them happy, why would I care? It isn't going to make me any happier if they become a doctor or a lawyer
