Cripes - haven't read whole thread but whatever children say at 12 hardly ever happens. My girls both went through a phase of wanting to be hairdressers possibly because the hairdresser was one of the female role models they came into a lot of contact with and it all looked like fun. One is now a graphic designer (and didnt get into that until she was around 19) and the other is turning into a scientist. As people have probably already said just expose to him to loads of ideas, encourage lots of different interests and talk to him in general terms about various jobs people do. At 12 I would be almost worried about a child even thinking about future careers ion any serious way.

I wanted to be a Nun :rotfl:Now I am the mother of four.
