Every generation carries a story it tells its children about success. Today, Generation Alpha, born into smartphones, tablets, algorithms, and a world where attention is currency, hears the same narrow script: study hard, excel in school, become a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer, or perhaps even a president. In cities from Accra to Atlanta, Nairobi to New Delhi, London to Lagos, the message echoes. The bright child dreams of university gowns, white coats, corner offices, and podiums. Rarely does one hear a whisper such as, "I want to be the farmer who feeds a city," or "I want to be the seamstress whose hands clothe a community," or "I want to be the cleaner whose quiet diligence keeps a hospital alive."
