We (as a society) tell kids all the time that their hobby can't be a viable career. Kids are just headstrong and don't want to listen to their parents/other adults telling them unpleasant truths.

The bs message I see everywhere pushed on young people is "You can be anything you want to be". We have a whole generation of kids who think they can be youtube stars, influencers, rap stars, etc.
