I'd say this is pretty normal.
I'll push my kids to get some type of post-HS education. Doesn't matter if it is a 4 year degree, technical college, or trade school.
My biggest impression I hope to leave on my kids is to choose a career base on something they enjoy, not because it sounds like it pays well or "you did it, so I guess I'll do it too".

Ideally you find something you enjoy that you can also make a lot of money in. Majoring in finger painting sounds fun but you can't support a family with that.

If your kid doesn't know exactly what they want to do, why push them to a 4 year college. Work and go to a CC. The credits transfer and you'll save big time $$. When they are ready to go off they'll be more mature and taking classes that go toward their major.
