Actually Flu I had nothing to articulate at the moment of my last post so I just said something to acknowledge yours.
You gave a lot of food for thought in the recent post. You speak well on the dynamics of the real professional world.
I also don’t mean any offense to anyone but I don’t consider RE a profession.On the sales person and brokerage level it is just a business to engage in, that people go about in different ways.It seems to me of being “professional” are often more one-upsmanship games about sales models or small differences in knowlege than anything. One can behave more or less professionally but so can the gardener.
Anyway that was an obvious tangent but it came up earlier.
About the children. I think we open doors to prepare them to live up to their potential as best we can as they reveal who they are. Hopefully, they find a suitable path to fulfilment from there and are willing and able to make life fulfilling if opportunity is tight relative to how they prepare having given it their best.At this point I think I would like bring out a work ethic in my kids, besides many other things, and be able to give them the choice of a house that they can’t sell until they are 50, or an education, or some combination of the above.
I am not the type to make a ” project” out of my kid like some, or neglect them as I was. Hopefully we find what works for their talents and personalities.
The possible negative scenario relative to “high level” job opportunity you discuss is happening all over the world to varying degrees. Argentines have free education( I don’t really understand the whole program) and many people are living without opportunity to work much in their fields. Without being really negative, it never hurts to be realistic about that possibility here and have a plan “B”.
