    What profession would you like to see your kids enter?

    doctorcougs thread on compensation got me wondering if you had to do it over what direction would you take or what would you like to see your kids enter into? The guys that really seem to pull down some real coin are those that own a successful business. If you are a doctor you are limited to how many people you can see in a day but if you can figure out a way to have 100 people working for you making you forty bucks an hour that's not bad money and you don't even need to be there.

          Actually, I would prefer they become a professor of humanities but only after winning the lottery.
          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                Entrepreneur. What type of business is not very important to me. I won't be encouraging them to spend a lot of time and money at college. I hope to have the financial ability to help set them up with partial ownership of a small business while they are young...as in high school or college age.

                However, if they want to go into the hard sciences, I'll encourage college, if they are proficient at math.

                          Well, it'd be nice to have a pilot of a major airline, an executive at upscale, worldwide hotel chain and an executive at a major rental car company. That should cover all the travel I would like to do once they are out of the house.
                          What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

                              I hope my son becomes an engineer. He is smart enough and great in math, is meticulous and doesn't deal well with change or input from others. Pretty much like all the engineers I work with. He would fit right in.
