Synopsis
Some advocate for following one’s passion, with the belief that passion leads to success and that money will ultimately follow. Others suggest casting aside passion for well-paying careers, highlighting the need to cover expenses and acknowledge the child’s aptitude in their areas of passion.
As parents, we’re often influenced by our own experiences, particularly those from our formative years. How can we ensure that our advice aligns with our child’s unique attributes rather than impose our own perspectives onto them? How can we guide them in a manner that allows them to achieve both their passions and the financial stability needed to support their desired lifestyle?
