And that doesn’t bother me at all. Flying is something you really have to enjoy and want to do. You can’t be good at it if you don’t enjoy it.
Your daughters had an opportunity and a choice. So would it be presumptive to assume that you are in favor of giving exposure and access to aviation to groups that are underrepresented and do not have that access, in their youth for example, so they can make an informed decision whether or not professional aviation is a desirable career?
