In practicality, they mean the same thing. If you're being pedantic, the future tense version makes sense because the son will see whatever it is in the future if he ever does. Then again, that future may be so close that it can be seen in the present. All in all, just know that they mean practically the same thing in that context.

I think it's a strange phenomenon in our society that our folks always want girls to work as teachers while they seem don't care if their children want to embark on teaching industry at all. They just want their children to have a stable job, and they always call what they have done <strike>are</strike> for their children good. Perhaps they are right.
However, lots of my female friends who study in normal universities tell me their parents hope and even force them to be teachers. I don't know what <strike>are</strike> their dreams are and what they want to be, but what I see in their faces is their unwillingness.
My perspective is that if we clearly know that we aren't fond of a job, then we should never do that even if it's our parents' ideal professions. After all, how should we put efforts in a career that we don't like? After all, it's our own life.

There may be dozens of people who have already written about the same topic, but who can restrict themselves from writing about the snow in Tokyo yesterday? That was quite a lot of snow, I mean, for Tokyo. Tokyo has snow only a few times a year and sometimes it does not have any. However, yesterday, it snowed exceptionally a lot. The newspaper writes that it piled up to 23cm. The 5 year-old inside myself got so excited for the snow, but not everyone was happy about the snow. Many people who work in Tokyo had a hard time getting back home because trains did not work well because of the snow. My father first tried to catch a taxi, but because there were so many people lining up, he gave up. (The news said that people needed to wait for an hour and a half to catch a taxi.) He then decided to stay and sleep in his company. My mother and I thought that is a good idea, as waiting for a taxi will be waste of time and also money (since taxis in Tokyo are quite expensive). So I thought he was staying in the company until I found him at home when I woke up at midnight to go to a bathroom. He told me that he actually ended up taking a taxi at 2am or so. Snow is <strike>prettey</strike> pretty fun, but it can be a nuisance, especially in Tokyo, where we are not really used to having snow.
