I have known a few nannies in my time (not for my kids) and none of them were Asian (American, Swedish, or Brazilian.) Likewise with waitresses & similar jobs. I was actually thinking of a woman at the last hotel restaurant we were at, who obviously enjoyed her job (breakfast!) and was efficient and cheerful at it.

Wouldn’t you agree it is better to have such a job because you WANT to, and not because you were a HS dropout who couldn’t get the job you were actually better suited for? The OP (to get BACK to the topic!) is worried her nephew thinks money falls from the sky if you are born “smart.” He doesn’t understand the value of hard work for what you want.
