There are fewer than 10,000 influencer positions in the U.S. -- and virtually "all of these jobs are already filled". Yet, over 10 million Americans under 25 want to be social media influencers. These kids would be better learning how to code.

In a world where we desperately need way more surgeons, scientists, engineers, psychiatrists, nurses, etc, jobs of real value to society, sadly many want to be "influencers" the most self-absorbed narcissistic endeavour in recent human history. Idiocracy was meant to be a comedy not a documentary.

I wanted to play pro basketball or be a video games developer when I was their age. I have a career in health care instead.
