Every parent thinks about the bright future of their children. Almost all the parents have the same dream for their kids that one day they will grow up and turn into an engineer, doctor or an MBA. But if you see the trend now a days then you realize that today’s children are not biased for some old conventional occupations instead they are inclined towards the unconventional careers goals, like becoming an actor, an artist, a writer or a musician. Parents are usually not prepared about what their children want to be when they grow up and therefore they may not be on the same page to be able to meet the full costs related to the career paths of their children.
