Children have tough career choices

This school vacation has provided excellent opportunities for me to catch up with my children and relate with their challenges, dreams and aspirations. However, "challenges and aspirations" may apply only to Russell and Tiffany because looking at Jimmy, there is nothing other than dreams to talk about.

Over the years, I have observed Jimmy's "aspirations" with a mixture of amusement and growing concern. Granted, some of his aspirations are quite realistic, but the rest are pure dreams; meaning you have to be asleep to believe them. For instance, he recently stated that his ambition is to become a "social media expert".
