Haha - my daughter wants to be a horse trainer at the age of 10.
I guess the big question is "what does he enjoy doing" - which you haven't answered yet.
I know I loved decorating my room as a child, and pottering in the garden, desperately wanted to be a policewoman, but was pushed towards law, rebelled and never did anything. Went and worked as a bank teller.
In hindsight I should've done interior design (way back 30 years ago before it was common), landscape design or followed my heart into the police force.
My nephew really enjoyed the sciences and wanted to become a pharmacist (not sure where that came from) so did Chemistry ... changed tack after the first year and is now employed in university research and loving it.
One of my stepdaughter's started law after excelling at it in HS, hated it, moved over to BA/Visual Art (also excelled at HS) and is now employed as a graphic designer and loving it.
Another started with a BA, moved into psych with IT combo, now working for the government analysing data, creating real life government programs and loving it.
Just because they start something, doesn't mean they have to stick with it ... but it helps to be something they like rather than just an end $$
