HARDCORE #CAREERADVICE FOR A 13 YEAR OLD: My daughter Mollie had a homework assignment where she had to ask me what I do for a living which put me in a weird position. I do a lot of things. I didn’t know how to tell her. But this assignment also shows that school is too focused on: EDUCATION leads to A JOB. This is not true anymore. The reality is: -The average person has 14 different careers in their lives. -The average multi-millionaire has seven different sources of income. So anything that is “one job focused” will create a generation of kids that will learn the hard way that life doesn’t work like that. The world changes fast. The jobs I do now didn’t exist when I was 13. And the jobs she will do don’t exist now. So learning how to learn is more important than memorizing facts. These were the questions she asked about my job: http://bit.ly/2uxDqDZ …see more
