Well then wake up because most of those parents didn't send their kids to school for those careers.

But that was the goal. If they didn’t make it to the doctor/lawyer/engineer/financier level, then middle management or consultant or whatever other desk job would have to do.

Either way, a Mon to Fri 8 to 5 salaried gig with benefits requiring little travel and no health risks was a comparably better goal to aim for due to the lack of sufficient price premium for the non desk job labor.
