I don't think my daughter will ever follow a traditional career path. And I'm ok with that.

My daughter is 15. She loves to draw and has taught herself animation. She currently has nearly 20 000 subscribers to her youtube channel where she posts short animations. A month ago, a company contacted her to send a drawing tablet so she can review it on her channel.She is at school, she is supposed to be doing CSEC examinations in 2021. But I'm ok if she doesn't do them. I don't see that she will ever have a 'traditional' career. Saying that, we have been looking at animation colleges in Canada (she only needs a school leaving certificate for them).I am in two minds if I should be pushing her in a more traditional direction (ie to do her CSECs and CAPE exams even though I know she won't do that great in them) or to just let her continue on the path she's on with the animation and youtube etc. There are plenty of people that make a good living from YouTube/online platforms - by creating content.What do you think? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2rtCa7a
