I am of The Depression era., a time when Americans were actually freer than today.
I try to pass on what I know and my experiences but I find few want to listen. Many American young - and not so young - people today are not open minded, they do not think for themselves, they are poorly educated, and they are addicted to electronic gadgetry, primarily cell ph9ones which they cannot see beyond. Most do not know physical work.
I try to advise them to forget their "passion" with a useless degree as a choice of what to study at college with its associated debt. Get a useful, decent income generating education first, there are many choices, then develop your "passion" as a sideline.
I suggest they take their first year's university tuition and travel or live in a foreign country. Learn about other people and their culture, don't try to change anything, just observe and learn. Pay attention to what you spend. If you run out of money, figure it out, you aren't allowed to ask for more from home. You may come home with an entirely different view of what is important and the education you need.
You may change course entirely and start a business from what you've learned.
In my opinion, people over 70 are the most undersold knowledge bank in the world.

But who listens?
