[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who would 1000% support their kid doing this even if doesn’t lead to future earnings? Just because doing stuff is the point of life and the employment market doesn’t reward all the things I think it should, and I have no problem being my kid’s patron for a few years for the Never Gonna Make It tour even if it doesn’t get them a job later, but just because it’s a worthwhile pursuit and a special opportunity and they only get one life to live?

Maybe it’s because I am close to a lot of entrepreneurs but I just don’t get why earning money via employment is such a totem for people. Sure, if you think the work is meaningful and good, great! There’s nothing wrong with being employed. But the money is just money.

I get that being given money comes with pitfalls, but everything comes with pitfalls! Being employed sure does! You guys don’t know any unhappy lawyers? I know a bunch. A W2 is not a sure path to anything but taxes. [/quote]

I have 1M in surplus money, and I would love to do that for my kids.  Unfortunately, they are not athletic good enough to qualify for the tour.  There are things in life that money just cannot buy.  Being a corporate drone for the next 30 years is boring.[/quote]
