[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe back in the day when you could accomplish more financially with just a high school degree, high school graduations were more of a big deal for a family. But these days, there really is an expectation that to make it in this economy, you need to get an advanced degree. A high school degree is a stepping stone for the immediate family to acknowledge, but not so much an accomplishment worthy of flying in elderly relatives.[/quote] In my own family, my mother was the first in her immediate family to graduate from high school and my father was in the first generation to graduate (he had older siblings who graduated before him). All of my grandparents had only an 8th grade education, so it was/is a milestone to them.[/quote]
