I agree with you but we're talking about two different things.
My point was about teenagers trying to figure out what to do with their life. I came to Silicon Valley from another country with no connections and definitely no means from back home. Obviously part of being an entrepreneur at a young age is being able to deliver enough value to an employer to always land back on your feet.
That's not what's holding somebody who has been told throughout all their life that they'll never accomplish anything back, though.
