Definitely, parents are bad at raising kids for the current era. Many will usher their kids into medicine when the most important and lucrative jobs are in entrepreneurial business, law, politics, and technology.The reason for doing so is that they want prestige from having a child who is a doctor. They will ignore any arguments about how there are only a limited number of positions in such a vocation, and blame it on the child for now getting in. Then those children who don't get into a medical school have a useless degree that they use to do research for crap pay, or do something else altogether for crap pay. Modern parents should be teaching their children to start businesses, to work hard, but go into a vocation that they can make an impact. Not just whatever makes the parents look good.
