How did your dc chose their degree, and (answer honestly) has it proven to be the right choice?

Just that really

Interested to know how your dc decided what they wanted to study for a degree and whether they think they have made the right choice, since ds is currently drawing a blank

what kind of income level will the child want at 30 or 40?

How many people really are as motivated by money as this?

@RampantIvy Maybe you are not motivated by money but some people definitely are. They want a lot out of life and it does not come cheap. They want careers that both satisfied them and have good opportunities to be promoted into senior grades with high pay. I do not think there is an issue with discussing the real state of the job market/living costs, so your DC can make well informed decisions about their careers.

DD doesn't enjoy good health, and it looks like she will only be able to work part time for the foreseeable future, so this does influence my thinking.

As long as she can find work that pays sufficient to live on and allows her to stay well that is the best we can hope for.

I also think that work life balance is very important. We aren't rich or poor, but our work life balance suits us perfectly.
