I believe that a young child’s future career and dreams are significantly affected by the way they are influenced by their parents or role models from an early age. According to a study published in Child Development, the type of emotional care a child receives from their parents from around age 3 can affect their lives educationally, socially, and romantically for the next 20 to 30 years.

“Babies and toddlers raised in supportive and caring home environments tended to do better on standardized tests later on, and they were more likely to attain higher degrees as adults. They were also more likely to get along with their peers and feel satisfied in their romantic relationships.” This research shows that positive reinforcement from parents to a child proves to be beneficial to their future and would most likely mean that they would go onto get a better education and therefore a better job after graduating and getting their degree.

On a similar note, psychologist and postdoctoral researcher, Lee Daby of University of Delaware, conducted a study found that 10 percent of a budding student’s academic achievements were influenced based on the “quality of their home at the age of 3” Generally, the quality of a child’s future life improves depending on the quality of life they have at an early age. For example, if a child lives in a good neighborhood and is shown plenty of love from parents, the child is more likely going to have a better life as an adult from better life choices. For future research I will look into how a child's set economic status can affect their future career.
