Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'd say you can be both!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Yep! encourage her/him to go for both!. She/he can settle into one of them as soon as she determines which she/he cares for!. also a fireman can do that voluntarily, and easily have another job on the side!. If it is a small child telling you this, then still encourage her/him to pursue her/his dreams!. She/he will love you for it, now & later!. She/he can say "my mother supported/supports me" that means a lot to a child of any age!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com I wouldn't give advice to my child on a career!. In fact I'd tell him/her that any job is great, and trully a gift!. The job that you believe is for you is the right one!. You dont need me to tell you which is right or better!. I wouldn't steer them in any direction!. Telling your child that they cant be someone is a disgrace!. Telling them they have to be someone in particular (like a doctor or lawyer) is just as disgraceful!. Tell your child that he/she should choose for themselves and when the time is right they'll have that right choice and they'll know when the time is right!. Www@QuestionHome@Com I would study this kid, see what makes the kid spark!. See how they react to certain things!. I will then tell the kid, "hold on little buddy, lets find out!." Then take them into places or situations where it has the thing they want to be!. Depending on their sparks, interesting or strong suits, you can make your own recommendation and from their build your child's focus, imagination and interest towards that given subject!. Or you can leave them be like the rest of the world, undecided and floating by!. Www@QuestionHome@Com First of all how old are they!? If they're kiddies then let them dream on & maybe try to be supportive!. If they're heading into college, do some research about it together!. Take a trip to a local college, find professors or instructors from the field, & get to know the more about it!. Regardless of how you proceed, try to be understanding (not necessarily supportive)!. Don't flip out on them!. Keep your cool!. Share your feelings on the matter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com tell them they can be whatever they want!.!.!.even both of them if they want to!.!.!.then do some research and find out about both and help them along the way!.!.!.they can start training very young at doing what they want to do!.!.!.if you help them with the research and just being with parents who care and willing to help them make their dreams come true! GOOD LUCK!Www@QuestionHome@Com Well I would first tell them that the only job a philosophy major can get is teaching philosophy!. So tell them to if they choose that one to have rich friends who get real jobs and can support them!. As for fireperson, I would say that it is a noble but dangerous job!.Www@QuestionHome@Com My son told me when he was 6 that he wanted to be an Astronaut and when he came back to earth he wanted to be a garbage man!. I told him he could be whatever he wanted to be as long as he was happy!. He ended up being a Miner in Western Australia!.Www@QuestionHome@Com fireman/woman sounds more plausible than being a philosopher because there aren't actually any jobs involving philosophy!.!. it's more something that makes you have a different outlook on life and the people around you either way, i'd encourage my kidWww@QuestionHome@Com Id be delighted, wanting to save lifes, wanting to think at advanced levels, thats every parents dream isnt it!?

Www@QuestionHome@Com Firemen/women!.!.!. that way he'd/she'd be much more helpful to society than a "philosopher" would ever be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I'd say, "You can be anything you want to be in this world as long as you love what you do"Www@QuestionHome@Com With good luck, you can be a fry cook!.Www@QuestionHome@Com well!.!.!. if its a girl i would go with either one but if its a boy!.!.!.
