I think this entire conversations rests on one single question. What does your child want? It really doesn't matter what the parents want as far as the child's career goes. Set up an influence, possibly; however, I doubt highly, I might add, that being influenced into a decission does not make the decission correct.
As far as a mother or father's stand point I guess that really depends on if you actually enjoy your job. My family owns a restaurant. The last thing my father wants is for me to continue in his footsteps and run the place. So I think it depends on the career.
