Asked the 9yr old what she wants to be when she grows up ...

"A job that hasn't been invented yet".

Find it always crazy how kids are indoctrinated at a young age to say what their dream β€œjob” is

Like wtf… full matrix mode to only think about a job

Your dream should be to become the best version of yourself, healthy, fit, independent and free

I think it's slightly more nuanced.

If you describe a job as slaving away to get by and don't starve vs contributing to society and making the world a better place the latter sounds much more intriguing.

It's not that I don't think all these other things matter but they are not going to fill up your entire day for the rest of your life.

However i do agree that there could be more focus on those parts for sure.

Edit: "all these other things _don't_ matter"

You’re definitely right that you should contribute something to society and make the world a better place

Reality: majority of fiat jobs are not contributing anything

That’s a perfect example of why education should focus on the fundamentals and science, and not preparing kids for a specific field. She is definitely going places, you must be a proud father πŸΆπŸΎπŸ«‚πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

That's a job well done dad.

My 'career advisor' in school suggested I should be a tractor driver.

Sounds ideal now. πŸ˜‚

This is the way!

Haha wow, maybe she should invent the job herself then 😎

Mind blown, that kid will go places
