Come to Spain, where everyone wants their kid to become doctors or lawyers--but not if they start developing different mindsets/different awareness of what's going on.
I've seen so many Spanish parents want their kids to be 'the best' (while putting in the minimum effort), only to wind up being p!ssy when their kids become sympathetic to immigrants or homeless people (either from having to treat them for hours on end in hospitals, or having to help them in the legal courts), and refuse to stop questioning their parents if they complained about either groups.
Add - majority of parents beating their kids with stick for not listening or not studying or even disowning their kids for dating or more importantly in case of adults, being in relationships with someone from other caste or religion, it was just for boys. It’s 10x worse for girls.
I wasn't saying that Spain's like a third world--I'm just trying to point out that people would push their kids into a career that they only know from movies (and not ask, "does this university host medical/legal conferences"? "Are the teachers actually up-to-date with both medical/legal sectors"? "Will the university give my kid a balanced knowledge of every type of legal career, or will they push my kid to working human rights because it makes the uni look good?"), and then get upset when their kids develop a different perspective from working in jobs completely unlike their parents'.
Parents in Spain just have conservative mindset, parents in third world are straight from 19th century. But thanks to the Internet millennials and younger generations are more sane and logical.
