[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look you don't have to worry. Let your kid enjoy himself and keep your worries to yourself. I have a similar kid, now 15. He spoke of paleontology endlessly. But as he got into high school and was exposed to other scientific subjects through science olympiad and summer camps, he realized he was interested in other things. He also learned how tough it was to go into paleontology. They talk a lot about picking careers in their high school. He himself told me this last summer that maybe he would be okay going into engineering. Don't stop your kid. Who knows? Maybe he'll be one of the ones to make it. Meanwhile he's keeping his mind active. Encouraging exploring other interests too. [/quote] Ah, now I see that he may be into some other niche interest. That's okay. The advice still stands. Just make sure he's exposed to other things too in case he wants to pivot later. [/quote]
