The most important thing is his interest. I know that interest is the driving force of learning. Without interest, learning will be very passive, and with interest, it will be much better. Parents should not blindly insist that he study literature or science. If parents let him learn what he doesn't want to learn according to his own ideas, he may encounter difficulties in learning and may have resistance and weariness. But everyone's specific situation is different. I don't know him. This depends on the understanding of parents. What kind of person do you think he is and how far he will go?
As for the future employment problem, it should not be a problem. The important thing is that he has no motivation and potential support to learn. This support comes from his own choice! When studying, be proficient and work hard! ! Otherwise, it is useless to learn anything!
Since he has a balance of arts and sciences, let him make his own choice and explain that this is his own choice and he must go his own way. No matter what problems he meets on the road, he must overcome them by himself, and the future is in his own hands!
I'm in the same situation. I chose liberal arts, and later found that science was better, but I have no regrets. I continued to insist, and now I have been admitted to the university. During this period, I also had resistance, but it was my own choice and I will stick to it. As a result, I realized my dream. When I came to the university, I cultivated my interest in science. I want to realize more dreams, of course, it is my own choice! I firmly believe I can! I believe he can do it too! !
Go after your dreams, realize yourself and improve your life!
