In my opinion, I feel it should not be an either or choice. What parents can do is help their kids by explaining what the reality of the labour market looks like today and those children's interests. By so doing, those children will likely be able to choose a path for themselves where their passion will now be developed into a useful skill. And with what I have seen, I don't think a career will fewer opportunities can be regarded as a bad choice if the person is willing to build expertise. In fact no career is a bad choice just that no job provisions and opportunities for those types of careers in this country. Some people have created opportunities and adapted to any career they followed. But at the same time and some of us already know that passion alone can foot the bile. So I'll say it very important to always tell them to find what they are good at, what they can do well at, what they also enjoy because that is what the market is searching for today.

My 2 cent 😁
