I meant that it’s hard to know when parents ask for advice whether their student is interested in and (more importantly) capable of developing an elite career with an intellectually stimulating job.

If your kid is the next Pete Buttigieg or Nate Silver then it’s eminently sensible to say follow your dream, do what’s interesting to you, serendipity will follow. Go to Yale law school and come top of your class and good things will happen. Take the Rhodes scholarship even though it’s a “waste” of two years.

But for the vast majority of kids, giving advice to “settle”, find a job that pays the bills and don’t incur debt, makes a lot more sense.
