Hi Oscar 11. I know how you feel. But, how many of us went into a job because "it is what I want", or "I love it" or "I enjoy it". None of us. Life is hard. Reality hits. Your child has to get a job in order to earn money and then take control of their life. Anything else is (excuse me) bull...t. My own daughter is at this moment sunning herself in Ibiza so I know what I am talking about, but I saw this coming and from an early age in school I encouraged her to talk about what she wanted to do. She is going to be a journalist and has done so much towards it that it has made me see that if someone wanted to start at her age (22) they have a long way to go to catch up with the amount of things she has done. Whether she get there is amost irrelevant. The point is that every break she has had from school, university, or being just the princess at home, she has done some work towards the goal. I would suggest that anyone who waits to find out what they 'want' to do will do nothing. Make them go out there and do a worthwhile job. Then they will find out what they really want.
