what do you want you kid to be in life

I cant choose my child's career in life.My son wants to be a policeman and i really dont want him to because of the risk.So I just look at the positive side of it that he will be preventing crime and saving other people lives.That will be their choice.

I don't think it's right to make your kids become what you want, only your child can decide what they want to do, they have to have a passion for it. I often get the impression that people pick certain careers (like the ones mentioned above) for their children to have for their own personal security. Think about it - would you rather your child was happy in the work they did no matter how much money they made or would you be more inclined to make them do something that you want - so they can afford to take care of you when you are elderly? I dunno, that's all i think of when people force their kids to take on a career.

I just really hope that they finish school and go to college and get a good education and try to do something with their lives. I dont want to try to push them into what I want them to do or they wont be happy. I can tel tell them what I would like them to do but I will not force them or decide for them. I just want them to be successful and happy with what ever they do, whether it is being a doctor or lawyer or into sports or whatever.. I just want them to be able to take care of themselves and be happy and love life. I dont want them to have to struggle. I will push them to finish their schooling but as far as what they choose to be in life is up to them to decide.

People who try to force theirchildren into specific careers end up being hated by those children. Your friend just wants to feel important through hischildren. What is he going to do if one of them decides that he wants to be a ballet dancer, or afireman, is he going to disown him?

I have 2 boys and I've always wanted them both to go into Marine Biology. My oldest already has a great profession and my youngest isn't really interested in it either. I guess that may have been my dream. I will be happy with whatever profession they choose if it makes them happy.

I want my kids to grow up doing what they love, of course thing would have to be a good thing. And i want them to grow up to be the best they can in doing the thing they love most and am able to make a beyond average earning from the thing they do. I want to also be generous, because what goes around comes around.
