I don't have kids but I am going to play anyway.
I agree with the find something that you are good at and can live with that gives you strong employment opportunities, even if it is not your passion. You can explore and pursue your passions as hobbies.
I think talking to kids about the cost of college is very relevant and it is important to have very honest conversations about money. They need to understand what it will take to pay back loans. Also, it is easy to say money doesn't matter if you are doing what you love, until it does...lol! It is important to strike a balance between being happy at your career and earning enough to keep you financially comfortable. Not having money and struggling financially over the long term can be much more draining than working at a job you might like a little less, but that pays considerably more.
