It's okay in the sense that there's nothing else to expect. Children get most of their information from ersatz sources: movies, school, computer games It would be worse if such a child already knew what he wanted to become. He would like to become, as children 10 years, Spiderman, Teletubbies or Pokemon cardinally correct the situation at 13 years, even with 11 years is too late, you have no ability to educate, only to re-educate All that can be recommended - occasionally pass qualitative career guidance tests are not MinObrovsky! And hope for the best?

The child will choose.
It's normal I chose where I want to go at the age of 15 most of my class - by the end of 11th grade they decided.
children decide by 9th grade, and some don't decide until the end. Wherever their parents put them, that's where they go.
This is the age when children make the transition from being an astronaut to more realistic possibilities. Your son probably doesn't know where he wants to go right now either.
It is still too early to choose what he wants to be. Few people at this age are still deciding on their profession.
And no one will answer! At that age, only complete idiots answer. Desire is formed by opportunities, and opportunities appear at the age of 21-25, along with awareness of responsibility.
In my family, they only decided where to put me in school when I was in 11th grade.
him decide for himself, if he is forced to study where he doesn't want to, he will skip a lot.
the last month I didn't know where I wanted to go, what I wanted, what to say about my parents
13, kids can't even decide where they want to go. They don't have enough experience to choose yet. Usually in 9th grade their parents decide where they want to go next, some stay in school, and some go to other schools to get a profession. Only after trying a profession does a child begin to understand what he or she wants, and often changes the field of activity dramatically. The main thing is that, whether we want it or not, the first decision is still up to the parents. Parents can only choose the field of future profession, and then the person will choose it himself.
