"One idea to help your child to own their own education is to be an enthusiastic supporter of whatever they think they may want to do. If they want to be chicken farmers, then get them a dozen books from the library all about chicken breeds and, if you are able, let them raise a bunch of poultry. Work with them to start a small egg business and never ever tell them that chicken farming is unrealistic, stupid, or just too much hard work. If your child grew up to happily raise up poultry and provide amazingly healthy eggs to his community at large while staying out of debt and enjoyed his lifestyle, why would that be so bad?"
