[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best thing you can do in a post-AI world is probably to encourage entrepreneurship.  I predict there will be less room for corporate cogs in the future, but I'm just a random internet commentator.

My family is weird because my parents are wealthy but barely graduated from high school.

The next generation, which is me and my siblings, all got white-collar jobs thanks to fully funded educations, but because none of us is entrepreneurial, we're already financially behind where our parents were at our age.

My least academic kid is also the most entrepreneurial - he has been starting little businesses like window washing and snow removal since he was pretty young, and trading in his green light account.  I think he will outperform his more academic siblings, but who knows?  I hope they all do great and rise to the level of their grandparents.

It’s not weird at all entrepreneurs have innate skills that have nothing to do with academics.  Going to a good college, learn a specific trade like law or finance and you should do very well.

Be a hustler with drive and ambition who’s willing to start small and build assets and you do better. There are a lot of Eastern European immigrants around where we live.   They own apartment buildings, gas stations, restaurants, rental houses and they live in $3 million dollar homes.  They did the sweat equity when they were young, most have kids in the business.

Most of the older ones came here when the Soviet Union collapsed with nothing.  They were used to having nothing so they easily tolerated the lean years.  [/quote]
