Sadly Carmine, there are a lot of parents with that mentality (heck my dads folks would not let him try to repair a radio as a kid because it 'could be dangerous'), and those that raise their kids like that are what is filling our world with "middle men and phone washers" rather than "thinkers and doers" (hitchiker's guide to the galaxy quotes)...
If not for taking on this hobby at an early age I'm sure I would not be an electrical engineering major (well on his way to graduation)...It's scary to think about how I'd have likely turned out without my hobbies.
