How do we protect our kid from following in her footsteps?
My daughter adores her older cousin, “Sophie,” and views her as a role model. They are seven years apart: My daughter just started her first year of high school while Sophie is in her senior year of college, double majoring in economics and physics at Berkeley. For years, my husband and I have been delighted that our daughter looked up to her cousin, especially since Sophie was always outspoken about her desire to spend her life studying one of the subjects she loves .
Imagine our surprise when my sister announced that Sophie was going straight to work after graduation at a massive financial accounting/consulting firm, one that’s connected to multiple controversies . Sophie seems utterly thrilled about her new job, primarily because she’s earning six figures right out of college and will be renting a much nicer NYC apartment than most kids her age can afford.
Now, our daughter wants to move to New York like Sophie one day as well, and has been telling us that she wants to go to a college where she can also be recruited by a big corporation. I don’t want my daughter to spend high school and college chasing after a job with a corporation that prioritizes profit over people. My husband and I both work in climate research and want our daughter to live a good lifegive back to society, and not view money as the be all and end all in her career or life.
