Realistic expectations when you're paying for an education. If you're paying $50k-250k for an education and you expect to accomplish something unrealistic, you're going to get scammed. If you have unrealistic expectations, that's fine if you aren't paying people to try to meet them. Like if you want to be a Hollywood writer then write and try to be a Hollywood writer without paying money to anyone. If you're told you need to pay money first before you can be a Hollywood writer, you're being scammed.
Yeah, I figured you're trying to make a cross-facet comparison for my advice, which is why I added the little extra clarification.
Take relationships for example. There's realistic expectations for what a man or woman can get and there's unrealistic expectations. It's not about changing your expectations because people can't really do this and especially for relationships. If you want something, then that's what you want. Just don't go on 1000s of dates and spend tons of money/effort chasing the unrealistic expectations because you're being scammed doing so. Guys or girls that "simp" for someone thinking that this will get them their unrealistic expectations tend to just get scammed.
However, I would still say there's nothing wrong with advocating for changes to the system. For example, if you want to be a Hollywood Writer, which is an unrealistic expectation, there's nothing wrong with suggesting that perhaps Intellectual Property laws needs to change in order to remove a lot of the monopoly power Hollywood has on the industry to improve the competition such that being a Hollywood writer becomes less important because non-Hollywood media productions start to gain much higher market share. Now you've found a way to meet your unrealistic expectations by changing the nature of the game.
In relationships this might be suggesting banning women from the workforce. Such a structural change would have dramatic impacts to relationships and may improve someone's chance of meeting their unrealistic expectations. Since such advocacy doesn't cost someone $50k-$250k, that's a much better approach than paying an onlyfans girl $50k in hopes she marries the guy.
Yeah realistic expectations are incredibly important.

Right I agree. I think that mindset can apply to any facet in life. Great points.

I think you haven’t really thought things through
