It is common for a child to have different career aspirations than what their parents have planned for. To avoid such situations, as your child is growing, have conversations about their aspirations and what they plan to do when they grow up. It will give you time to fine-tune your plan to match it with the child's. Finally, when the child is ready to take admission to college, if the plan has changed, you will still have a decent amount of money. You can arrange for the difference from your personal finances or an education loan.
