I guess a lot of parents think if they 'invest' (God, I hate that word) time and money into their students, they expect good 'return'. And actor, painter, artist, musician, are still perceived as jobs with little 'return'. It seems illogical say if your child score perfect score enough to get into doctor or law, but opt for something else instead. But I am glad time is changing, I think last month in ST there was this article about this top poly girl who decided to pursue social study instead? And the comments were quite encouraging. If this is in the past, she would have been branded as not filial and idiotic.Dreamaurora:
I think let me share my perspective on this tuition thing from an Indonesian Chinese point of view.
Thanks for sharing, Dreamaurora
Sometimes I wonder in this day and age, will parents balk if their kids choose a career path less travelled?
Say... they want to be an actor, painter, artist, musician...? Will parents mind? It's still a decent and respectable job, but not what the parents had in mind, like being a doctor, banker, lawyer, engineer.... -

some lawyers, accountants, engineers, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, and teachers have also made mid-career switch. they become full time professional home maker, specialising in education, environment, and finances -
