It also looks like conflating "success" with "high-paying career". Most people would probably consider a high paying career success, but the idea that we're not even questioning that assumption when talking about children's education shows how it gets propogated.
- thefounder 4y agoI wonder, why would you like your children to pursue a low paying career unless you are already relatively rich/financially "stable"? It's a great adventure to live on the edge when you are young but unfortunately we are not forever young. Add a wife, kids and a low paying job and the story gets dramatic. Not to mention any health issue.
- Xelynega 4y agoThis isn't an article titled "what your kids should pursue to live comfortably", it's called "the future our grandchildren deserve". Having the ability to pursue a "low paying career" when you're not financially stable is the future our grandchildren deserve, not just a future where some of them get high paying careers.
