Quit teaching your children to get all skilled and highly educated just to go and work for somebody else. Don't teach your children to be beggers or settlers. Teach them how to prepare and stay ready. Tell them or better yet, encourage them to pay close attention to the things they like to do and what their hearts desire. Show them there is an abundant lifestyle there.
Teach them that paying $80,000.00 for an education and using that education to get a job they will only be paid $30,000.00 for is wrong. Where is the return on the investment? There is none. We wouldn't do that in any other areas of our lives. We don't buy homes we feel we will get trapped in or be upside down on should the market change and we don't make investments in the stock market if there isn't a return.
Teach your children, that if they are going to work for somebody else to not forget about themselves. Teach them to not let the only money they get from an employer be the only money they have. Teach your children that as their own business pick up, begin to transition into self employment. Teach your children to save some energy for themselves and not let these jobs drain them, even if they highly enjoy what they do and where they do it at.
Teach your children by doing it first. You be the example and show them what it means to be independent and to not settle for pay even if you negotiated and got the pay that you wanted. Regardless of how much you get, that will be all you get until you get your own.
