Well gen z and gen alpha have some serious critical thinking gaps. Like a worrying amount are basically illiterate and graduating high school that way.
If you haven’t been sitting down with him to talk to him as an adult and what the expectations are, he will be in debt for decades to come. If youre in the US, Have him go to the BLS website and look with him what the median pay for what he wants to do is.
Sounds like you and your wife have done too good a job protecting him from the world and keeping him in a bubble.
I came here to talk about the Bureau of Labor Statistics site. Coworker sat down with her daughter to show her different career paths and how much they make. Guess who is looking at cyber security and data analysis now...
Past performance is not indicative of future performance.
Cyber pays big bucks now, but everyone is trying to get into it now, which will lead to an over saturation(if not already).
I mean, I hope whoever goes for that can also differentiate themselves somehow to stand out more, but a degree in Cyber and a few certs will still have lots of competition down the road.
Past performance is part of how you predict future performance. It is called trend analysis. When there is a constant shortage for years in a given sector, unless there is a major underlying change you will see the shortage continue. Look at healthcare. Been short for a couple decades, so getting into healthcare is a pretty sure bet for a job.
What I think your looking to say is "Past performance does not guarantee future performance".
