There's no genetic drive to be a banker in anyone. There is a drive to have children in some people, and that drive may not manifest for a while. At the same time, having a kid in your fifties is difficult in a way which retraining is not.

So it's not a good comparison. Just reply "I'm pretty confident, and having a child I don't think I want would be an insane thing to do and the only alternative".
