Forcing a lefty to play tighty - thoughts?


The other day I was in Mars music and saw a salesman trying to make a sale to a young kid (teen) and his mom. The kid was a lefty and seemed to enjoy the lefty guitar he was playing. To my surprise the salesman kept trying to talk the kid out of that guitar and into a righty guitar and stressed that it was more important to play the guitar right handed as he would face nothing but problems down the road. I don't know why, but his insistance pissed me off. Do you think a left handed player should learn from the start to play right and don't you think it will ultimately limit his fretboard dexterity? Have any of you forced yourself to make the switch? I ask because my son (7 yrs) want to soon play drums or guitar (he hasn't decided) and he is a lefty. Any thoughts?
