On the flipside of that, I think it's WORSE that some kids get convinced that athletics or entertainment is their only out and they should 'use their talent' to make as much money as they can. While I don't exactly knock it, I think when kids are told that it's their way out (as well as the fast way) someone along the line forgets to let these kids know to be prepared for disappointment along the way and that their talent is still only a dime a dozen.
