When my kids are older and it's time for them to pick careers I'm going to say "Look, picking a career now is a bit like starting an online role playing game where you have to be a Thief or a Paladin or a Wizard, right? And once you're playing a Paladin you've got to be that Paladin all the way. No quitting right? NO! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL! In real life you just have to look at your options and switch careers if you're not happy with the one you started with. People do it all the time. But when you start you've got to pick one of those options just to get the game going, you can't just let things hang and that's what this careers thing is about. Okay?" And my kids will agree with me and say they love me. They're not actually real, I made them out of Lego because I never leave the house. Tim's the youngest, he's made out of Duplo Lego but Helen, she's is growing up so fast! She's made from Lego Technic.
