[quote=flyer]Even though we’ve known kids who took that route, but still did not discover their path in life, that approach worked out great for our kids, EP, and they all seem to have found careers (and lives) they love.[/quote]
My guess is this has more to do with your guidance and parenting…than just a young kid knowing/being able to just make it. Other than sports, most people don’t make it if you research successful people I don’t think.
I have met extended family with similarly wise parents compared to others and the kids are far more successful/happy with their lives since their parents gave them the guidance when they were making the critical decisions.
It’s one thing to have interests and passions, but another to have the guidance and assistance to reach them which many people lack…
