In first grade, you 100% tell them they can be whatever they want, by the end of 12th (or however it works where you are) they should be honestly looking at what sort of things make money to handle that part of life. But also, you know, how to be happy and such.



Is this just because they can't yet grasp the complexity of "whatever you want", so it's pointless to get into the details?


Essentially yes.

In the beginning it's more "cheerleading" than "logic?"
