Do you appreciate the background to your son’s desire to pursue music as a career?
Have you had conversations with him to understand what he finds interesting in music? Has he studied music?
Has the desire for a career in music arisen suddenly or has it been latent over a long time?
My son who is about to finish high school wants to become a musician yet his teachers say he does well in sciences and propose medicine as a fitting profession for him. Should we let him pursue music or encourage him to become a doctor? What advice would you give us as his parents?
The field of medicine presents several benefits, not the least of which is the contribution it makes to the health and wellbeing of people in the society. Doctors help people lead bearable lives in the face of maladies that continue to afflict humanity, such as the current pandemic. Your son’s teachers might have had such considerations in mind when recommending that your son should pursue medicine.
