I think my son is not likely destined for a white collar career, and I'm glad.

My son is not growing into a person who site behind a desk all day, and while I don't know what it would mean for his economic prospects, all I ever got from my "profession" is anxiety disorder and a lifetime of medication. Like every college graduates, we dreamed of the same for him, but if he can find his place in the world, do something he likes and live comfortably, he'll be a lot better off than me.

have concerns about their financial futures. All went to college, but none went into the big three: technology, health/medicine; engineering. They are all artists and/or compassionates by nature, but are making their way in today's world with probably less than I had at their age, but just as happy if not happier.
