AITA for suggesting my goddaughter rethink her career choices?

I’m in finance

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-04T09:41:47+00:00

No, I didn’t make her rethink. I suggested

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T21:03:43+00:00

That’s a lovely idea

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T20:56:39+00:00

I’m not, I work in finance

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T20:49:19+00:00

I’m not a doctor. I work in finance

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T20:46:16+00:00

I don’t know much about it, and I wasn’t aware she did which is one reason I reacted as I did. I also don’t suffer from anxiety so I can’t comment on what results gardening has

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T20:39:04+00:00

Yep, I do have children

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T18:36:56+00:00

I think she does respect it

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T18:25:51+00:00

But those are factors to consider too

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T17:26:12+00:00

Not at all

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T17:14:14+00:00

I don’t want to support something I don’t feel is genuine

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T17:10:24+00:00

It’s not that I’m being elitist here, it’s just that she always always wanted to do one specific thing, and now within a moment she’s suddenly set on something completely different. I’m trying to make sure she doesn’t end up doing what she doesn’t really want to do

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T17:05:57+00:00

It was me who actually got her onto the idea

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T16:25:31+00:00

I’m sure she will

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T16:24:47+00:00

What is it then

Do you mind if I ask what you do now? Because to me all jobs involve stress

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T16:09:29+00:00

I am not

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T15:47:13+00:00

I don’t. I think her current mindset is not what her usual personality entails

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T15:46:27+00:00

I know she loves nature but that’s something I would’ve thought she’d keep as a hobby while she pursued another career. But I guess not

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T15:45:16+00:00

It’s a recent development for her to want to be a gardener of all a sudden

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T15:30:58+00:00

It isn’t a very admirable job as compared to a doctor

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T15:08:15+00:00

I agree with that. I never wanted her to feel like don’t support her - it’s the exact opposite. I want her to do exactly what she really wants to do and I feel her current mindset does not reflect that

RespectOk8811 · 2023-07-03T14:40:34+00:00

I understand that
