> 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.

It's more than one generation. I remember hearing this "you can be anything you want to be" stuff when I was a kid 30 years ago, and they're still telling kids this today. It's a joke
