what an interesting man. he was determined to follow his dreams irregardless of the hurdles of life and money related issues. if you look at his filmography, he got his first TV and first film role in 1993 and it said he graduated from harvard in 1992. so he worked hard at it for a year at the age of 26 and then got his first roles at 27. Look at where he is as a steady working actor today.
Mt. Harper is imminently qualified to run for any office...let's back this bright intelligent engaged and concerned individual about what's happening to our country. I say Go Harper Go...we are with you. 😊❤❤❤
I see where he is coming from. For the most part, I agree with him, as children should be free to pursue what they want, without interference, provided that the child has demonstrated the capability of making sound and responsible decisions. However, I don’t completely agree with him and his views on parents projecting their fears on their children. No parent wants to continually provide financial support an indecisive child who has the degrees and toolsets to financially support themselves. In this case, parents should know when it’s time to step in. All children who are financially dependent on their parents need some degree of guidance and discipline...even college students that still depend on their parents for support, so that they won’t become those “struggling actor” or “struggling musician” children who constantly call home to ask for money. These types of children often do not have the ability to focus on how to effectively support themselves after earning their degree, especially when trying to enter the entertainment industry. Additionally, that child might not know what to do with that degree, and still remain financially dependent, as they didn’t receive guidance, or don’t know how to ask for help. A good parent will guide their inexperienced children and help them make solid career choices. What Harper is saying assumes that EVERY child that goes to college will know what they want to do upon graduation, which is certainly not true. Additionally, it also assumes that all children who think that they know what they want to are making sound choices for themselves, which also isn’t true. This is where parental guidance comes in. Now, for those who know exactly what they want, having carved out the appropriate path as did Harper, this is solid advice. I’ve known many successful people who chose paths other than what they studied in college. They were focused and knew what they were doing and why they were doing it. Hill Harper is a great actor and extremely intelligent. I hope that he wins an Emmy soon.
mrbear1302 He owns at least 14 LITERAL separate businesses and President Obama is his best friend. With access to that type of business acumen, combined with his own and those types of professional relationships, I’d venture to say that he’s prosperous enough to not have that type of debt, anymore...”IF” he ever did.
