[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been a teacher for 30 years. My kids are in finance, or heading there. They saw me work my ass off and struggle and they want a different path. I am thrilled. [/quote]

Same. I’m a teacher and DH isn’t but is in a different field and works really hard. Our kids constantly say they don’t want to be like us and want high paying jobs. [b]They don’t care if they love work but want to make money to do the things they do love.[/b] We fully support that. I would never want either of mine to teach. [/quote]

What? Either they want to do the things they love or they don’t. [/quote]

I think they are saying these kids are separating work from passion.[/quote]

They were attempting to say that but then immediately contradicted themselves.[/quote]

I don't know about "passion" per se .. seriously, how many 15 and 16 year olds do you know who are genuinely passionate about topics like the effects of playing jazz music to shrimp or why cows align themselves with the earth's magnetic field while grazing -and yes, these are actual published studies ...
but you get the point. All high schoolers are playing the game. Most fake passion this stuff just to get their foot in the door, and eventually end up in consulting or finance.[/quote]
