I don't want my children to follow my line of work simply because it is what "daddy" did. I like my line of work, but will certainly try to encourage my kids to expand on their own talents.

I sure hope not since I'm making a career change in my mid-life and it incorporates copywriting, editing, book designing .. something I'm discovering I not only love doing but I'm good at. (You cannot know how terribly difficult it is to state that simple "I'm good at" is for me! :) "Would you encourage your kids to follow in your footsteps — or tell them to pick a profession other than yours?" I encouraged my kids to do what they enjoy. My son is a credit analyst not because he's following me or anyone else; he's doing that because he wants to for now. Later I hope he'll find a career involving sports analysis but for now he's not ready to do that. My daughter is a photographer. She's been blessed to have that "eye" one needs to capture human essence and this year saw her open her studio. I am in awe of her gift and her abilities.

I'm sure most of you in marketing will agree that it can be a demanding, stressful line of work at times -- yet rewarding. I doubt my children will follow my footsteps, but if they do I'll try to help them avoid some of the mistakes I've made. I’ve been a marketing manager for most of my career.

But what's more important to my wife and I is finding, developing and guiding their on special talents and strengths. Early in my life I've been in jobs were I that's where I thought my father wanted me. And I hated every minute of it. I would love it if my son or daughter chose to follow in my footsteps.
