How much influence should a parent have over a teenager's future?

> Read and Decide
Read the story and decide what you would do in this situation.
you and your spouse (wife or husband) own a grocery store. you are proud of your business, which took many years to build, though you have to work very long hours and get no vacations. you have no pension (savings plan for old age) plan, and you hope that your health last long enough for you to educate your children and save some money for your old age.
when you were young, you didn't have the chance to continue your schooling. But things are different now, and you have bigger plans for your daughter. You want her to get a good government or company job, with the security (safety) of pension and medical benefits, vacations and shorter working hours.
Your daughter, however, hates school and loves to join you at the store every afternoon after school, instead of doing her homework. She insist that she doesn't want to continue in school next year. She says she wants to learn the grocery business from you and eventually take over (manage) the store. She's a smart girl, and you think her bad grades are just a result of not studying.
You have had many arguments on this subject. Your daughter is convinced of (believes in) her own desires. You are equally convinced that you know what's really best for her in the long run. if you were the parent, what would you do? If you were the daughter, what would you do?
