One of the things I have been taught multiple times at various Professional Development courses is teachers shouldn't ask students "what do you want to be when you grow up" anymore.
As SeeGeeWhy said, the future of work and education is wildly uncertain. No one knows what the job market is going to look like in 10-20 years. Automation is here, AI is coming, algorithms and bots are already here taking over multiple industries.
The thing we get told to ask kids is "How do you want to impact the world" or "how do you want to impact the people in your life" as opposed to "what do you want to do" because people are going to - almost certainly - have to DO so many different things over the course of their adult lives.
It really calls into question the value of narrowly focused four-year degrees.
