I'm not experienced in this area, but I think what you're supposed to do is encourage and support the natural interests they hold that might become potential career paths. For example, math skills are a sure ticket to money. I'd encourage something like that in a fun way, as long as the child was enjoying it. If they get bored with it though, I would stop pushing, as then you immediately start to piss them off and they won't do it anymore out of spite. A little bit of encouragement from you in an area they're already interested in, however, might do them very well.

Calculated pressure, that's the key. Not blind, brute strength.
