Cisco just let out the longest sigh of disappointment which I felt that wasn't directly aimed at his kid but for the whole situation. To be fair, all parents had dreams and aspirations for their children but those things—including the kids themselves—were abruptly rearranged to suit the current setting.
Granted all of them could still pursue their dreams of the old world, let's just say that they'd have a few more extracurricular activities that needed to be met and some mandatory stuff to be added to their major subjects.
Take note, a doctor was something of very high value but if we had someone just like that who could also fight, they'd be ranked a little more higher.
