Caveat: I don't have kids.
That said, I wouldn't DIScourage it. But I'd make it clear that the money isn't all that great, unless you're at the very top levels, and then you have to balance the $$ against your "you" time. (Someone posted an article on the boards a long time ago about some CEO who paid his PAs over $100K (US), but they were expected to work round the clock for him. Not for me, thank you.)
I'd also disabuse them of the notion that taking an admin job is a good way to "get your foot in the door" of a company with the idea that you'll move up and on to something else. We have a lot of admins where I am who have Bachelor's degrees, and some are completing Master's degrees, but it's still almost impossible to be considered for promotions to management positions.
