What a fun topic!
I have three kids. DH and I would lurrrrve for them to follow in our footsteps and we have lots of fun discussing who should be what. Of course DH wants them on his 'side' whereas I hyperventilate at the thought of germs, bacteria and... pus. So, ideally they should all be on MY side and become lawyers. Unfortunately for DH, our two boys freak out at the sight of blood, but they take after me and can talk a cow up a tree. So possibly I would 'win' :lol: based on total count. DD thinks she wants to be a physician or a vet, so I work hard to 'convert' her hahaha. -
I think it is not up to me to decide, afterall it is my child's life and she should take charge.
When she was young, she wanted to be a cashier not because of counting $$ but the ringing of the cash register interested her.
Then she wanted to work in a hair salon, because she liked to tie ribbons or hair clips on people's hair. Unfortunately I have short hair and she could only practise her skills on her dolls.
She wanted to be a teacher, so that she could give a lot of homework to the students. After realising she has to mark the work, she thought otherwise.
I lost track on her ambition! :lol: -
Why so many of you all want your kids to be doctors? Do you know that doctors’ pay is not as good as you think, at least they are not one of the top earning profession. Then have to study so hard. Might as well go into the financial sector, that’s where you can make big bucks. Moreover if become GP, then so competitive. It is so hard to make a good living, given the amount of time spent studying.
If my kids like health care, i would encourage them to be a vet or a dentist, rather than become a doctor. -
I want my son to be a comedian when he grows up. Not just a anyhow comedian, but a famous one aka jerry seinfeld? Then he can make me laugh daily and I can die a happy man

I hope my son will be his own boss next time or CEO of some sort. Definitely not a doctor (dunno why) but somebody gave a doctor play-set to him for his birthday I gave it to my maid to bring home.

actually, my first thought is i hope dd wil be a investment banker - then can earn lots of money! but the money comes wif lots of stress too! n very often, may have to do things which r not so ethical, so no la…
but to b realistic, i hope she can become a doctor - pediatrician to be exact. cos i hope she wil have her own children next time n stil be able to hold a job wif flexible hours (since doctor can decide on her own consultation hours) n can be her own childrens’ paed - save money on medical bills

hmm....best selling children books author or superstar not on any parent's wish list?

Aiyah carebear, maybe it's not about money... Think how useful it is if there's a geriatric specialist at home when you are old and doddering about :lol: That's what DH always said about his own family - they have quite a few specialists around so very convenient when someone needs attention for some part of the body!
Ok, seriously, not all docs do it for the money. I actually agree with you that the pay is not that great, unless you're one of the very well-known specialists and can charge an arm and a leg just for consultation. But then all the docs I know make at least a five-figure salary a month. That's not too shabby at all for most people, isn't it? I definitely wouldn't mind it if my kids make that kind of money!
Anyway, DH certainly didn't go into his profession with starry visions of how much money he can make. It may sound trite but he genuinely wanted to work with and help people, and as a surgeon, till today he still gets enormous satisfaction from saving a life.
I think if one wants to have a better 'return' from all those of years of studying, consider law. Endure a few years of swotting through law school and a few more years of being scolded by your boss, clients and judges.... eventually your pay will be very decent hahahaha.

\" I have enough money no need to work\"
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
I wish I wish I wish i could say that !
DH wants DD to become a doc
and DS to become a business man. But DS has decided he wants to be a taxi driver since he likes driving. He will drive a jaguar taxi
What's with boys and cars!
I have been very tactfully showing him all the other exciting options - like be a pilot, may be own a whole fleet of cars (aka Comfort)., a formula 1 driver.... he gets fascinated for a while but he reverts back saying \"but I want to be a taxi driver\" :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:
