Encourage junior to become a journalist or a teacher instead of an investment banker.
There's a certain element of public service when you choose to be a teacher or a journalist. You won't make as much money compared to your contemporaries in the business world. That's a concious sacrifice.
There are cogent arguments for conservatism that have put forth by conservative theorists, like Ayn Rand, the only problem is that they are not taught.
Liberals enjoy the early indoctrination of children in public schools to slant education by using the well-spring of liberal thought. Think of Walden, Transcendentalism, Stienbeck, MLK, JFK, The New Deal, The Great Society - but ask a kid who Barry Goldwater was and they have no idea.
That's the advantage liberals have from making the financial sacrifice to teach: they get to dictate what is left out.
