What you say is absolutely true. But on the flip side, young people chasing unrealistic dreams is why we have a lot of art, music, literature, science, business and progress.

Where would rock and roll or rap be if so many young people didn't "foolishly" pursue their dreams? Where would technology and the internet be?

And isn't it simply the nature of the pursuit? If a pursuit is "high risk and high reward", it naturally creates a few spectacular successes and a bunch of "failures".
