> We (as a society) tell kids all the time that their hobby can't be a viable career

That's absolutely 100% not true.

The bs message I see everywhere pushed on young people is "You can be anything you want to be".

We have a whole generation of kids who think they can be youtube stars, influencers, rap stars, etc.
