8. Hard to say really
I have two preschool children. When I was their age it was the mid 70's. Nobody in 1975 would have said "oh well obviously they should go into internet programming for the web". It just didn't exist. Software Engineers then were the geeks with slide rules. It just wasn't anything like it is today.

so who knows what it's going to be like in 25 years.

I plan on making sure education is important to my children, and that college is important to them. Other than that I'm just going to support them to find something that they love to do, while also being able to financially support them.

No idea what that will be. It could be a doctor, it could be something that doesn't even exist yet.
