No. The child should choose their career, since they have to live with that choice.

No, which is why they’re often disappointed in cases where they’d hope their children would either work for, or take over a family business. Choosing a career should be strictly up to the individual as it’s a lifelong responsibility they should be engaged with.

No.
Everyone should be free to choose their own career.
Having one forced on you can produce serious depression or other mental problems.

no. they should support the child in whatever career the child chooses. the parents may encourage certain careers but they shouldn't choose it for them

Of course not. Why?? Because they will not be working that career, their child will.

No. You guide them but its their decision.
