[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is something extraordinary about knowing your basic needs will be met regardless of your employment. The freedom to quit a job you hate or take a job you love that does not pay as much is a true gift.[/quote]

Nah.  There is purpose and honor in work, and feeling accountable/responsible.  EVERYONE should have the motivation of providing for their own basic needs- food, clothing, and shelter.  It is the human experience.  Those who don't or are monied or coddled often become feckless, with no life purpose.[/quote]

They didn't say the kid would not work.  More that you have the freedom to work at a job you love, regardless of the pay/benefits/etc.  I want my kids to love what they do, to have work/life balance, and that means taking a job they love that isn't a 80hr+/week job, and one that they can live a short commute from (think 15-20 mins versus 1 hour).  You can still have a strong purpose in life without being a workaholic at a job you hate.

my kids know they can choose any path, and will still live a nice life.  They are motivated and give 120%, but know they can choose the job that is right for them.
