#asknostr If what paths kids or career almost out there will 10 teens all years? are in have you to teens, concerned at who are
I'm not, no. My teens are hella smart, have great work ethic, and will have options. We've saved enough money that they can go to any college but we're counseling them to go somewhere inexpensive (we'll let them keep whatever is left). They'll start adult life with education, some real world experience, some money, and no debt. The key, I think, is teaching them to be nimble, to network, to always have some options open.
Worst case scenario, I hire them at my company while they figure stuff out. One of them is already going to be working for me this summer doing entry-level stuff.
I think you got this somewhat figured out.
I'm not sure it's all figured out, but we have a plan that gives them a decent chance. The world is changing fast and for all our planning, who knows what's coming?
The potential flaw in the plan is that my kids are, so far, not very entrepreneurial. That's ok. Not everybody needs to be. But they're going to have to be flexible in different ways than I have been.
Experience is the best of teachers and curiosity brings knowledge is all I know and try to use as guides for mine.
