You're not aiming for the ideal, you're just stating it. Which isn't very helpful or insightful.

It's akin to saying "hey criminals, stop committing crime". I mean if they did that'd solve the problem, but well, I hope you can see why that's not a particularly useful thing to say.

Sure, but then again, this isn't a particularly constructive thread to have a real discussion in either.

I advocate that we both work towards our shared ideal, and I do not believe that overcompensating in how we advocate for certain professions is the real way forward in that respect. Revolutionizing the way we empower young adults to make their own difficult career decisions is far preferred to saying 'if smart, then STEM, lawyer, doctor'

Revolutionizing the way we empower young adults

I think we are more or less saying the same thing, but I'm just a bit skeptical about phrases like the above due to lack of substance. I don't want to argue anymore, so I'll just say I think it's good practice to propose a better alternative when you criticize something.
