My 22 yo daughter has never been a "People person," but she has had a job for 2 years that is 100% people. Last night she was asking about becoming an FA and I have mixed feelings. She is insanely smart - but has had a lifelong tendency to take the easiest path. We talked about what her path to being an FA would be. My conflict comes with bringing her on. I think she should start as an assistant to someone else because other people know more than her dad. When licensed she would join me.

I think starting her off as an assistant somewhere else is a fine idea. But I don't think bringing her on when she is then licensed is going to be the best option. Let her get experienced being licensed and going through the growing pains under someone else's umbrella. Because then she can learn from them and take into account their opinion and their knowledge. If you're afraid she's not going to listen to you now, that won't change until she gets quite a bit of real world experience under her belt.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
