This is neither PC nor a lie. Kids that love engineering will become engineers, kids that love nursing will become nurses, and kids that love plumbing (I know!) will become plumbers. And because they love their chosen field, they will be very successful (and able to pay the bills).
I strongly recommend all young people choose a career path that will allow them to love what they do, lest they become stuck in job they hate!
I think this was a very inspirational and refreshing commencement speech, and I commend Jobs for not using the occasion to take a cheap shot at our President (or Republicans in general)...so many people seem to be too weak to resist that temptation!
It helps if kids aren't left sorting all of this out on their own. Our six-year-old has shown a fascination with and proclivity towards science and natural phenomena. He questions everything and then makes me "prove" it to him. For a while, that drove me crazy; my six-year-old not believing me until I can show him evidence. But I now appreciate the intellect God has graced our son with and hope to encourage him more in this area.
