My advice to my own and any other children I get to talk to is the same. I had the opportunity to serve on the board of a very large California University and so got to speak to large groups of students many times. My advice was always the same.
1. Learn to speak another language fluently. Preferably Mandarin and Spanish, as with those and English you can communicate with most of the world.
2. If you know your passion and can make a living doing it, follow it. If you don't, get a Masters degree in International business. With that degree and those language skills you can write your own ticket.
3. Always show up, better still always show up early, and best of all is to show up early and be dressed to play.
