[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised no one has mentioned temperament of the kids in question. I will try to help my daughter make choices that take her personality and temperament into account. Being prepared to support yourself is essential, but past that lowish bar, there are lot’s of equally viable ways to organize your career and relationship life. Surely picking the one that suits you best personally is better than whatever cookie cutter recommendation your parents pushed on you, no? [/quote]

100 percent. I always encourage my kids to find what they like and what they are good at. The "everyone should be a doctor or a lawyer" plan turned out to be a little stupid (I am a lawyer). I also think some careers are more family friendly, and they should consider what all they want to get out of life as they move through it. No one ever suggested that to me, and I ended up basically dropping out of a prestigious career because BigLaw and family are incompatible for many women who don't like pretending that they don't have children.
