The right idea, that's interesting to children, would surely get a lot of parental support. Although, I don't know if a computer related job would be best since many parents would like to see their kids spend less time with electronics. With that said, if an internet job edged out video game time then that would be well regarded. Inspiring piece.

(i.e. PG&E will make it difficult to cook your Mac & Cheese on the stove if you didn't pay your gas bill) I love this one, considering my time spent with newspapers.
