From insurance to Hollywood automation set to replace Jobs

I was recently talking to a friend of mine who's an accountant. He has his own accounting firm and lives an upper-class lifestyle in the Chicago suburbs. He said he will happily pay for his daughter's college education, provided she won't pursue a degree in accounting. This isn't the first time I've heard a parent say they don't want their child following in their career footsteps; a lawyer recently told me the same thing. And it's not because they feel they've been unsuccessful or that their career was too demanding.
