most very successful people I’ve ever met… were simply riding the coattails of their family/parents. no matter what it is. if you want to be an engineer and your dad is already an engineer you have a huge leg up in engineering.
but nobody wants acknowledge this, esp in USA because we have this stupid myth of meritocracy. where you magially can do whatever you want and be really good at it. truth is very few people have that privileged. Most follow in the footsteps of their families.
because just like generational wealth, generational jobs skills/knowledge… compounds. your dad’s 30 years of experience in engineering if you want to be an engineer, is basically gives you a huge experience boost.
