"Qualities" and "attributes" don't work because you're talking about the future. You can only have a better career in relation to a previous career, and you can't really "have" a better future at all, just a chance at it. If Tom wants them, try "objectives", "goals" or "aspirations".

It is unclear what you mean the relation to be between Tom and Jim to be.
The second sentence could be Jim was a fine example of both and Amanda hoped they would be friends
or
Jim, having achieved both these goals, would be a lot of help to Tom
or Jim having a good career and a fine future stood in Toms way. Therefore, Amanda shot him
you get the idea

Amanda wants her son, Tom, to get a better career (than what?)and have a good future (luck or money.. use more specific word). Jim has both of these drives.
Sorry.. this is a very bad sentence and even a worse representation of the English language...

I would change the sentence "to get a better career with a bright future" as one is a goal and the other a result; consequently,. it is difficult to find a single word that fits and sounds right.
