Thank you so much for saying this. My parents were very involved in my choice of education, I was indirectly pressured to go to medical school, which ended up with me dropping out because I was never the type of person to sit down for days on end and memorize fat stacks of Latin anatomy books.

I eventually became a software developer, and it took years of catching up and self education alongside working shitty jobs.

Maybe OP is just thinking of bringing it up for their child to reflect, not apply pressure. It's unclear.
