Dreams of a young man

We've all have got dreams. I believe my son is dreaming about everything he could do, like travelling and buying cool things, if he had enough money. At least, the possibility of earning money is what comes up all the time from his side.

I've been talking about picking some blueberries, since it's really a blueberry year this year, there are plenty of them and they are big. My son liked the idea because of the possibility to earn money. "I'll pick a lot, and sell", he said. Well, in end we didn't pick enough to sell, at least not today, but his pocket money may be somewhat larger than usual (which wasn't his original idea, because he wants to make his own money from other sources).

He has tested to develop small convenient software programs that he has sold to his friends, but I think he has realized that it won't make him rich since he sells them really cheap.

I just hope I can make him understand that increasing the grades at school will increase the chance of earning money. I just lack a good example. He has already found out that if he could predict the stock market that would make him richer.
