I'll tell them to learn the maths because learning the maths will always result in a good career.
I wish I had learned the maths.

I will damn well make sure they start young and work a menial job like McDonald's or unskilled labor doing landscaping or working in a warehouse or something. Or when they are just kids to run a paper route or sell ice cream at the beach.
Just something to get them to recognize the value of money and learn to earn their own keep and socialize with people and go for what they want.
After that they can decide on their own, and if they have any questions I'll be there to help.

It's hit or miss. I'm all for "following your passions", but I'm also a firm believe in keeping your options open.
Here's my take. It's very doable to study pre-med, finance, engineering, programming, law, etc....and then move into a "creative" career. In fact that there's very few professional musicians with music majors. On the other hand it's almost impossible for you to get a theatre major and then move into one of the fields I mentioned above.
