Anonymous excerpts, translated where noted.
“Parents also care for their children and will more than likely choose something that's most beneficial for the child's future.”
“One idea could maybe be that kids are deciding on colleges/careers around 17-18 and usually that’s a bit young to decide.”
“Parents should support, assist, encourage, provide enrichment, etc but again - only the individual should decide the career path.”
