All the obvious stuff, like enjoying what you do, etc aside, I've always been very practical and realistic thanks to my parents' guidance growing up. With both of them being uneducated immigrants to Canada, they worked hard jobs and grinded out a living for us and stressed to me that enjoying what you do is very important, but finding a career where jobs are fairly plentiful and money is good is very important. Money isn't everything but doing better than just getting by is very important in life in my view. Personally, I'd tell my kids to keep that in mind. Specifically, I'd suggest technology or medicine/healthcare.
