[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good parents don’t try to program their children like computers. Your children have unique talents, personalities, values and dreams. Your job is to help them succeed in the path of their choosing. [b]A kid who wants humanités would shrivel up and die as an accountant. [/b] The choices aren’t limited to selling out or starving. Let them pursue their goals. A mature kid will take marketability into account. They often change their career focus in college. But your husband is wrong to try to change who they are.[/quote] Only if they are annoying or mentally ill or absolutely insane! Many writers have accounting/STEM day jobs. I think Yanyi (the poet who recently won the Yale Younger Prize) majored in CS in college and credits his day job in tech to financially fueling his writing career. [/quote]
