Your kid made my day, Todd! That was good.

I know I shouldn't throw my 2 cents out here, but I'm going to anyway. Bad decision making skills I suppose. Anyway. The title of the thread got me thinking a bit, and I was reminded of a conversation I had the other day. Whatever you do, Todd, don't badger the kid about what he wants to be when he grows up, or about how is he ever going to make money doing . He doesn't sound like an idiot, and you seem overall to be a rather intelligent guy. He'll find a way to make money, or make a living, doing if he really enjoys it. All you'll serve to do by working him over about it is to ruin his creative potential, destroy the possibility for original thought fueled by passion (and aptitude!). This has all sorts of effects later in life, and (believe me) none are pleasurable.

I know it's my uneducated, never-been-there opinion, but torturing kids (of any age) about what they are going to do when they grow up, or how they'll ever make a living doing it, is one of the WORST thing you can for them.
