**I’ve had kids tell me of… plans to become actors (with no experience or training), authors (who scored 'D’s in English), professional atheletes (after having been ‘cut’ two years running)… Sure, some of these might pan out, but the odds are damn poor. **

Childish naïveté, or the consequences of being told over and over again by school and the media, “In our wonderful society, you can be anything you want!”? A little of both, I suppose, but IMHO there’s no point in exarcerbating the former with the latter.

I even had one young lady tell me straight to my face that she planned to sit on her folks’ couch until someone married her, in just so many words. When I asked her how her parents felt about that plan, she said “They’re not happy. I could care less.”

And don’t you just know that she’s gone on to make some lucky young man very miserable.
