That only works if your kid is in a very expensive private school, for the 1% right? Most common people have no industry insights, all they know is size of their paycheck and how to avoid getting fired.
- badtuple 9y agoYou really aren't giving people enough credit here. You don't have to be at the top of an org to know the nuances of your own job. There are tons of people who work hard and are interested in their job beyond trying to "avoid getting fired." Don't rule people out so easily...literally everyone knows something you don't.
- yorwba 9y agoHow many "common people" do you know? In my experience, many love to complain about all the little inefficiencies at their jobs, company policies that don't make sense in the field but that are officially mandated anyways, waste where the same work has to be done multiple times, departments that are not allowed to directly talk to each other, and so on. Then there is the general awareness of things in their industry (like the size of a German Christmas market business). Of course this knowledge is not hard to get. You just need to do their job 8 hours a day for half a year or so ... or you could have a quick chat where they get to vent about their job and you learn something new. (You don't even need to have kids for that to work.)
