Most businessmen don't have any history of doing extremely well in studies...if one does too well in studies, he/she will get a comfortable salary which will become an obstacle to venture out.
hmm…. Bill Gates, Yahoo, cisco, ebay, google, FB, even Creative … they are smart, qualified for Harvard etc… but chose to drop out… U decide what makes them so successful?? gene vs luck vs opportunity??? :rahrah: :rahrah: my DD told me she don't want to work for MNC , rat -race, she prefers either be a writer or involves helping humanity i.e..be a doc in 3rd world etc., cancer whatever!!! :xedfingers: -

Your DD1 cute!I think at this age, most kids would still be quite fickle as to what they want to be, and very much influenced by friends. My dd1 has run the whole gamut from wanting to be a tai-tai to being a doctor, while dd2 wavers between a fashion designer and chef
.
I think whatever their dream career, it's important not to be disparaging. I try to be encouraging (well, except for the tai-tai \"job\") and tell them, study hard so that you have a better chance at realizing your dream, whatever it may be.
Sometimes, I wonder are we instilling the thoughts of getting a $$$ career or a job of interest to our children??? Of course, the best of all is to have a job that u love & pays well!

Wow, after reading through what all the dds and ds want to do or not want to do when they grow up; I feel so ashamed.

Quite few years ago, the former prime minister of Thailand, Thanksin wanted to buy ManU. Maybe, you can tell your DS, become prime minister can buy the entire ManU, not just a few shares.WeiHan:

At age 4, my ds told us he just wanted to be a child when he grows up. Recently, he told us he wanted to be a band conductor.
OK my bad… was telling P5 that she needs to study hard… next year PSLE… must do her best for SA2. Unless of course she choose to be a cashier or toilet cleaner??? Just like how our parents used to tell us… if you don’t study hard, you will be a human soil collector… but that profession obsolete already… P5 dd told me what’s wrong, she wants to have the cleanest toilet in Singapore. So i told her that why not I ask the maid to stop cleaning the toilet and she can start to perfect her skills now. If she is interviewed one day for the cleanest toilet, she can say her passion starts from 11 yrs old and since then she has been perfecting her skills… I think we need to move the discussion on kids’ ambition to another thread…
