When thinking from the mind of a true entrepreneur it's often not the success measured by monetary achievement but rather the innovation that counts.
The satisfaction of building something is a massive force, but most people spend their time as consumers, not creators.
Maybe by idealism in entrepreneurship isn't the picturing a greedy and money minded individual? It's the discoveries and application of new ways that spark joy and a sense in what is being achieved.
The caricature for most entrepreneurs are likely scrappers, people who do it tough, so that they can keep doing it.
I often fight with either the fear of failing which makes me avoid trying, or I get deterred by the ridicule and jealousy of others who are standing by to see me fail.
I have the same with this, though I am learning to become "careless" in these areas.
I think you beautifully described that we need more generalists with versatile skillsets in this generation and you are trying to expose your daughter to this.
There will always be work for the in-demand specialized skills, but for the average person in the gig-economy, they will likely need to be multi-skilled and willing to be comfortable with uncertainty.
