One important part of raising up young adults who are ready to launch is helping them to understand both the value and purposes for work. Every human should make a contribution to the betterment of many. Every young adult should be fully mindful of the "fist in the water" principle. Place your fist in a bucket of water and pull it out. The water looks no different for the influence of your fist. Leave the fist in the water for a very long time before pulling it out. Still looks the same. The water gives no evidence of your fist having ever been there. Arriving at the end of a life well lived should never place us in the position of the fist and the water. We want to know that in some or even many ways, people, places and things are noticeably different as the result of our extend presence.
