When I was 19, I told my uncle that I wanted to get into video game development. He told me that was dumb and should instead go into something reliable like IT, because "most people don't make it." I spent four years in IT wavering between depressed to borderline suicidal before I tossed everything I was taught the last 24 years and went after video game development. I now work in video game development, an extremely happy and make enough money to have a decent 401k, even though it's not "thousands per month". The advice you give is awful and while you are clearly OK with taking whatever job makes the most financial sense, I would rather love my job and be comfortable instead of loathe going to work and be loaded. The message you should be sharing is, "do what you want, but be ready to work very hard for it and have a backup plan", not "gently caress your dreams spoiled millennial, go into commerce! That's where the money is!" Anyway, the important take away here is that your advice is bad and you probably shouldn't enforce your values on others.
