What are your kids like?

My son is a beautiful and good boy. He wonders which way he should take, information technology or medical jobs. Those fields are intersected, and new IT-related jobs come out one after another. Anyway, I'm going to support and encourage him for his future.

自然な表現

My son is a beautiful and good boy. He wonders which career path he should take: information technology or medical jobs. Those fields are intersected, and new IT-related jobs come out one after another. Anyway, I'm going to support and encourage him for his future.

1. This is a better way to phrase this part.
2. Replaced the comma with a colon to indicate that you are introducing a list of options.
Your son sounds talented and has diverse interests! It's great that you're supportive. Does he lean more towards one field over the other, or is he exploring both IT and medical jobs equally at the moment?

He is interested in both of them. He's still little and doesn't understand the world, so characters in movies affect him. He likes "Star Wars" and a TV show called "NCIS." He liked a medical examiner called Ducky in "NCIS." Unfortunately, David McCallum, the actor who played Ducky, passed away at 90 the other day due to a natural cause. I don't know much about "Star Wars."

1. It is best to express this as a contraction to maintain consistency.
2. You can also phrase it like this: "There's not much I know about 'Star Wars'."
I'm glad that you observe his skills and interests carefully. Do you think each of the two fields needs particular talents different from the other? What else would you like to share with us?

The skills in math and science will bring advantages. Still, the gift of being liked by everyone is essential. I know a talented woman who is quick to grasp. She can't live without saying sarcastic things and can't stop being one-up to others. She is such a cheapskate that she fails to fulfill her duty. Most people hate her. Employers always fire her. Only people in a cult get close to her.
