QOTD
“A guidance counselor who has made a fetish of security, or who has unwittingly surrendered his thinking to economic determinism, may steer a youth away from his dream of becoming a poet, an artist, a musician or any other of thousands of things, because it offers no security, it does not pay well, there are no vacancies, it has no “future.”

Not to “dumb down” this quote and compare it to a tv show, but it reminds me of the episode of Ed where Carol was berated by her colleagues for not steering Warren Cheswick away from his new-found career passion because it would be “risky”. That was one of those episodes where the makers of the show just “got” it.
