[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one too.  I get how this area can make you feel like they’re not up to par.  They are.  The schools here (private and public) are tops- they’ve received a great education that will set them up for college success.  Many kids do far better in college as they can focus more on their strengths versus being good at everything.  And many kids mature a lot in college and become more academically motivated.  Or not.  That’s ok too.  They may be creative, or hard working, or have amazing people skills.  I guess I’m kind of giving a pep talk because I’m sick of people making these kids and famines feel like they’re on the bottom of the pile.

BTW, a nice underrated school that gave my DC a scholarship, is Hood College.  Worth exploring.  I also will say I was a B kid in high school, had a lot of family issues and I worked full time.  That probably was the one thing that ended up being the key to my success, though at the time I resented it.  I went to a very average college for two years then transferred and got a full ride scholarship to a top school.  But even if I had stayed at my first school, it would have been great.  I have been very fortunate in my career.

[b]Maybe a bit random, but a B kid is a solid kid, and everything is going to be ok[/b]! [/quote]

Maybe better than ok.  How's their personality?  Sales may be the way to go.  Good money there![/quote]

My DH was a C/B kid at college.  He got his masters, went into IT then IT sales then management.  Makes 7 figures.  [/quote]
