Researching people on LinkedIn – weird or smart?

My wife thinks it’s “weird” that I research successful people I come across on LinkedIn by looking into their background – what schools they went to, what they studied, degrees they have, and what their career trajectory has been. I find it super helpful to understand what path people took and want to advise my soon to be college-bound son to do the same as figures out his own path. My wife disagrees and thinks it’s like stalking people and that everyone’s path is different so it doesn’t matter. What does Reddit think?
