[quote=Anonymous]I worry about rising inequality, but not so much about whether my kid will be on the right side of it. More about how much harder her life will be in a country with that problem. And I see how narrow and shallow our culture's definition of success is -- trying to chase that and play the game on those terms is setting yourself up for unhappiness, and the rules can change. Better to focus on developing skills like adaptability, resilience, perseverance, a solid sense of self, and good interpersonal skills. I want my kid to be able to support herself -- and frankly, a less "elite" job might be a better fit and a more stable career. I want her to be the kind of person who will work to make the world better, safer, and more fair, not just someone who will come out on top. [/quote]
