Abstract

Nowadays, it is common to see young people who are finishing high school without having a clear idea of ​​what they want to do after graduation. In an upper-middle-class school, this may even be surprising, considering the opportunities and resources these students have. Carolina's case, in particular, is striking: she believes that she does not need to go to college to earn money, since she is determined to pursue a career making videos for the internet. Known for always having her cell phone in her hand recording interviews and footage for her channel, where she shares the stories and tips of the class, Carolina wants to follow this path forever. This situation raises an important question: how is the influence of the internet and social media changing the ambitions of young people, and what does this mean for the role of education and future career choices?
