Day 42: Famous


It used to be ok to want to grow up to be a fireman or a doctor even a teacher. Today kids want to grow up to be famous.

A recent study reveals a seismic shift in career aspirations within the space of a single generation.The study reveals that for many of today’s pre-teens, traditional careers have been superseded by the desire for fame, stardom and celebrity.

I don't think I would have any real problem with this if the kids wanted to be famous doctors or famous scientists. But it disturbs me that famous is the career rather then the result of a successful career.
