"You may be wondering, Gee, are you sure he might not be interested in some other subject than the one you've been fascinated in for the last thirty years? and frankly I don't know." Have you actually asked him what he is interested in doing? "then we'll change course and put him into Political Science or Journalism or something" Why do you need to put him into anything? Why can't you just let him decide for himself? Maybe I'm misreading, but it really sounds to me like you are pushing the kid to do what you want him to do, rather than let him choose his own way in life. I have two teenage boys myself, and whilst I wish for them to be happy and sucessful in their lives, I would never ever contemplate pushing them in a career direction that they didn't choose2 for themselves, and were not enthusiastic about pursuing. Cheers, 1. I'm in my forties, and I still haven't decided what I want to do when I grow up ;)
