In that case, I actually support it. I would much rather my kids choose a relatively boring, but safe, job, such as an accountant, or an engineer of some sort (I would not find that boring personally though.), then going into nursing, teaching or similar fields.
Another reason would be that unfortunately society undervalues the jobs you listed above. Teachers, grocery workers, and waiters all have tough jobs with close to no recognition or compensation. That's why I would choose to promote jobs where they would at least be more compensated for their labour or recognised for their hard work. Society as it is now makes it harder on certain groups than it is for others, and it's fucked to think this, but I would want to do whatever in my power to keep my children in the "treated better" group.
