Can educated parents influence their child's career choices? Negitively or positively.

sometime parents negetively effect the studets career choices, but there are some hidden factors which also effect the students career choices. being  educated parents it is our duty to encourage the childern for the subject of their own choice and facilitate them to reach the final destination.

I have seen many students struggling with a subject because it was recommended by their parents. In my view, a student will only excel in a subject if this motivates them and they find it enjoyable. 

Parents who try to place their dreams and aspirations on children will fail in most instances unless they have an interest or passion for the subject.

Educated parents knew and understood exactly the agony or unhappiness of their child or children if they pursue a career path which they do not have any interest or love for it. They are only there to guide and advice and not to insist and influence.
