Paul Simon’s advice to kids: ‘Don’t be a singer’

Paul Simon has career advice for kids — don’t be a singer.

At the Children’s Health Fund Annual Benefit at Jazz at Lincoln Center Monday, Simon asked one young girl what she wanted to be.

“She said she wanted to be a singer and a veterinarian,” says a witness. “He told her to be a vet because singers make no money. When he asked who her favorite singer was, she said Rihanna and everyone laughed.”
