Exactly. How many unhappy people are there in the world doing what their parents wanted them to do, wasting valuable years of their lives instead of carving out their own special path?

Well, the cynical view might be: deferred life due to acqui'escently spending too much of our time contriving a ploy with no surefire success.

What's your view, or are you a cynic?

The ability to strike out on one's own to self start an enterprise. The enterprise in question can be a very broad thing.

But what if my kid wants nothing to do with that? What if they want to be someone's employee?

It's a valuable part of being someone's employee, too. Speaking as someone's employee.

Indeed, the highest quality of employee is precisely the kind of person who can act independently, competently, and enterprisingly while keeping the employer's best interests in mind the whole time.
