[quote=Anonymous]Echoing the above - as a parent you can support the kids you have and let them find their path, ignore the noise of the rat race. I have one kid who has been shooting for the stars her whole life, she ended up at an Ivy and was wildly happy there. No consultants, no parent grooming (if anything we tried to get to pull back on her stuff for fear she'd burn herself out.) Our other kid who has bobbed along happily more in the middle of the pack and ended up at a lovely state school where he is happy and doing great. There really is something for everyone out there as far as post-high school experience, and honestly if I had a kid who was interested in the trades I would have been thrilled as well as those folks are highly employable and able to achieve some professional independence pretty early in their career paths if they work hard.
