Reinforce your faith in their ability. You have a unique opportunity to push your child toward what they are good at and what makes them happiest. Don't let them convince you that they want to be told to pursue success or financial security, or prestige.
You know what they love and what will make them happy for the rest of their lives. Try to convince them to follow that route. Happiness over security.
If you push them toward aquiring the tools to be successful at what makes them happy, security will follow. True happiness is not just making your parents proud for your career choice, but being truly happy first and your parents just being proud of the fact that they encouraged you to pursue true happiness.
The things that you are enjoying to do is the best option for your career in the future. But also consider the demand of the jobs in the future too. There are changes in job market in most of years.
