Is it irresponsible to tell a young child he or she can be anything he or she desires once grown up?

Torn. Think of that chances of becoming a rock star. I know a lot of musicians who have given it a go and couldn't get a break. So was it an achievable goal? In the same sense, if you don't try you will never know. Be a shame to break little dreams. Or would it be teaching them how to set obtainable goals?
Given the socioeconomic disposition, talents and strengths of the child as well as parental social capital and access to opportunities--setting obtainable goals seems rather practical.@Dainbramadge

@AnonymouslyYours I have to say I feel bad even saying it out loud. But I wish I would have had obtainable goals laid out for me earlier in life.
