I was out today to get something at a vendor and was going through a book... A year book of secondary school students. The first page and what I first saw:

Ambition: Beer Seller

That was actually the profile of a student I saw. It kind of hit me. I wondered what could have influenced that career option. Could it be our parents or just like the ones we look up to or our social environment or what?

Dreams differ

No role models in the persons immediate family or environment that are capable of guiding the said student.

And there are many poeple out there like that. I have many childhood friends and relatives who did go to school because "nobody told them to".

A close family member of the pupil runs a beer parlour. The poor child has noticed how lucrative a business it is and thinks that's the only way to financial bloom

if it's a way to financial booming, is it a crime? Everyone should drink responsibly. Selling beer isn't a crime. Ingesting too much and doing terrible things is the crime. The kid should be allowed to express himself. It's not as if his parents won't send him to school. Maybe as an adult he will own such an outfit. It's not dishonorable.
