Parents choosing the profession of their children has always been a tradition but this tradition is changing in the world. I truly believe that young people should be given the power to choose his/her profession. Off course parents are more experienced and they lived the life with different experiences but young people these days are aware of what they should decide for their future profession.
Young people after the high school education are not children anymore, they are mature enough to make decision about life. They should be given space and parents should believe in them. There are many families where parents want their child to follow the footsteps of them and choose the same profession. But it is actually the child that suffers in that profession because he is not interested in that particular field which in future creates problem for both children and parents as well. For example, many of the parents who are doctors wants their son or daughter to follow the same profession. Professional this profession has bright scope but it is not worthy if the child is not interested in studying medicine. Instead he might be interested in arts, want to be a singer because he got this talent. So therefore, it is important that parents should ask their children about their point of view what they want to pursue in the future.
In choosing the profession young people should always know about the profession, they should not select that field which for example will help them make dollars in future. But instead they should know what is the field they are good at, search about that field and its applications, discuss it with their parents and then parents with their life experiences should advice their children about it. I think in this way both parents and children will be involved in selecting the best suitable profession.
