    The survey shows kids don't want to do anything to make them a lot of money, except maybe a professional athlete but my guess is less than .05 percent will be able to make a living as a professional athlete.

    Where are the kids who want to be Doctors, Lawyers, Veterinarians, Engineers, Electricians, Plumbers, Business Owners, Scientists, software engineers etc ,,, less than 1% ???

    Probably shielded from the real world and this survey was done before they had any idea about WORK and making money.

    Future looks dim. They will blame Teaching. Lets blame the home they came from . Technology will end us all. The internet , video games, social media.

    That?s true. Kids are starting to less and less want to _earn_ a living with their hands...
