I see a lot of the “shooting for the stars” girl power type of talk but young women go on TikTok and are bombarded with make-up tutorials, girls bouncing about in bikinis for subscribers and people fawning over preppy wealthy girls who showcase their family vacations and luxe wardrobe. 
Oddly, the straight girls drooling over strong, confident lesbian soccer players content feels the most empowering. You get the impression they don’t “desire” the girls so much as want to be them. My point is many, many young woman are fantasizing about big diamonds and Paris honeymoons. I see so much content about their desire to be taken care of, ie, not work and live the all white furnished, pilates and a latte life.

So, unless you’re a typical DCUM overachiever (with all their Lake Wobegon above average children) or your daughter has super employable strengths (e.g., STEM), I wouldn’t wait around for this “passion” to rear its precious head; advise them to choose a career path that is stolid and pays a living wage. The rest has too many variables and will work itself out.
