Dr or Lawyer was the common theme growing up, I even went to law school for a year last year and gave it up after my company offered to pay for my MBA. I love my job, my company, and I didn't see the benefit of going into debt to fulfill a childhood dream that really didn't seem like it was going to come to fruition.

Like you said, I'll be happy as long as they are active, productive members of society. I'm a huge advocate of lifelong education and learning; so my only hope is that my future kids will embrace the same type of thinking when it comes to careers.

i don't really care what they do/become as long as they're happy and successful. (i don't want them to be lazy about it).

I'd like our child to be self-sufficient, strong and smart, in ways that matter. I'd like him/her to be college educated, and we plan to help with that. After college, I hope they find a good job that they are happy with. That's all I can ask for right now.

My parents expected me to be a doctor but when that didn't work out and I became a teacher, they were devestated. But now they see that my life had turned out well so they're happy. As for my LO, the hubs and I agree that she *MUST* have post-secondary education but she can be whatever makes her happy.

i just want my children to be passionate and love what they do.

Happy.

RJ's not even 2 yet, but I'm pretty sure he's going to be pretty musical. He can barely string two words together, but he can sing along to entire songs, and every time he hears music he starts to dance. He's also obsessed with guitars and pianos. Whether he does it as a hobby or profession, I'd be thrilled if he is seriously into music.
