1st...That was one strange piece of logic @the link.<br />1st of, someone who is over 18yo is not a child. (S)he is an adult, in the eyes of the law and by physiological and psychological reasons.<br />Parent might "discourage" his/her decisions, including sex, drugs, jobs or choice of subject of study, but ultimately the responsibility for the actions lies with their son or daughter. <br /><br />2nd: music, performing and representational arts could be "jobs", yes, but most often are vocations. Very few people are versatile enough to be an excellent accountant if by their psychotype and natural talents they are inclined to be an actor. It is a different matter entirely, whether a society at a given moment need an "n" number of painters or violinists, which is a basic supply/demand issue, i.e. would they be able to make a living by that. But then it is a personal choice of the practitioner.<br />3rd.<br />People change professions all the time. Not everything depends on parent's intentions and plans - life happens; someone with engineering degree moves to a place where there is no industry - but he finds a job as paralegal and then makes a career as industrial arbitration lawyer. It can happen!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
