Forcing a kid one way or another?
Each individual should have the option of finding their own way. That is the true reward associated with the miracle of being alive. To do oterwise would be similar to living in the Nazi state of the 1930s with all children pre programmed to devote their lives to whatever the state dictated.
I did not know what I wanted after high school. I went in the service, came out and attended night school for 7 years to get my first Bachelor Degree. From thsn it was a short time (2 years more) to the Masters. I feel I did quite well even though I was a few years behind my (then) more mature buddies.
Would I change it? No way. I found myself along the way; and I would have resented being forced along a path that was not of my own choosing.
