Based on the available evidence, let me analyze this claim:

Reasoning:

• Research shows children from higher-income families tend toward less vocational majors like history, English, and performing arts, while lower-income students gravitate toward "useful" fields like computer science, math, physics, and engineering¹
• A study tracking over 12,000 people found that doctors, dentists, and surgeons tended to come from households with median incomes of $55,000–$56,000, while lawyers and judges were more likely to have richer parents (median $85,000–$90,000)²
• A wealth manager who works with clients worth $100 million to over $1 billion reports that billionaire parents are increasingly encouraging entrepreneurship and their own startups rather than pushing kids toward traditional stable careers in technology, law, or medicine³
• Multiple examples show billionaire children pursuing diverse paths: Bill Gates' daughter Phoebe studied human biology but launched a fashion startup; Mark Zuckerberg supported his daughter's creative ambitions; Larry Ellison's son went into media⁴⁵
• The Atlantic's analysis confirms the pattern: "Once financial concerns have been covered by their parents, children have more latitude to study less pragmatic things in school"¹

Overall validity: 78%
