However, the child is not interested in becoming a doctor; he selected medical as a profession because of parental pressure. Still, after becoming a doctor, he did not become a successful doctor because he is not interested in the medical field from the very beginning. He is less successful because his parent did not trust his potential and insisted him to chose a carrier in which he was least interested.
“I doubt there has ever been a human culture, anywhere, at any time, that underestimates children’s abilities more than we North Americans do today.
