"My child already knows what they want to major in"

"They're so young, they don't need to worry about that yet"

"If they go to a good school, they will be successful"

"They do not need to be happy, they need a career that is in demand"

"My child is really good at math, so she should major in Accounting"

"I want my kid to concentrate on grades, he doesn't need job experience yet"
