[quote=Anonymous]My parents, maybe others, were far less worried about my future than I am about my kids. The economy is different and this is the first US generation that will OVERALL (not everyone obviously) not be as well off as their parents. A college education is the one thing that seems to pay off in terms of future earnings and opportunity. Parents may not articulate it, but the anxiety about their future is all around us. Families are also smaller than they used to be. So more parental attention to go around now than when we were kids. I was relatively hands off with my older DS who is in college now. I've realized that my younger DS (10th grade now) will probably need more prodding and guidance if he wants to go to college straight out of high school. They are simply wired differently. [/quote]
