Already. My kid here in India has exponentially more education and career choices than I ever did here in India. I really don't know which particular time-space continuum you reside in but in the one that seems to be surrounding most everyone in this country, a lot of change has happened, certainly since the time you were a kid, certainly since the time I was a kid, and even certainly since the time my 12-year old was a kid. And to quote the cliche, the pace of change is increasing. Perhaps it's also time to get off the engineering and medical fixation. That is so 1960s/1970s/1980s. All of us perhaps came from that background. I posit that very few of our children (and perhaps we can do a quick audit) are following in our footsteps.
