[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want my kids to launch successfully. They should have a well paying job, in an area that interests and challenges them.

We have put in the effort with them in academics and EC.  We have given them good morals and values.  They also have a responsibility to do for their kids  what we have done for them. They have to provide for their families and be good citizens. A big part of it is to be employable at more than minimum wages.

This sounds too much to me like you have struck a bargain with them and it is up to them to hold up their side of the deal.

For example, "Mom and Dad, I want to be a teacher. I probably won't make much money, but I think I can do well and make a difference for kids."

"Son/Daughter, we have invested a lot of time in your education and extracurricular activities, and being a teacher simply will not pay us back for that time. If you have kids, you will not be able to afford as large of a house as you were raised in. So no, you cannot be a teacher."[/quote]
