[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are not in the 1% - we aren’t even in the top 10% of HHI and have no wealth beyond HHI - and our kid may choose a SLAC. Why shouldn’t he? As long as he chooses a profession where he can pay his bills he’ll be fine. And you can choose a career that pays the bills either by earning a lot so you can spend a lot, or spending very little so you can earn very little. Either way has pluses and minuses, and a kid who goes to and thrives at a SLAC won’t be earning very little because they are working at Starbucks, but because they are a field biologist or an environmental journalist or a social worker. Hopefully those careers come with meaning and purpose, which to some of us is a higher priority than money. [b]I don’t think you actually want to understand, though. I think you want to mock.[/b][/quote] Bullseye.[/quote]
