[quote=Anonymous]Top dc private high school. Smart white kid who studied a lot and did tons of extra currics. Most of my friends were the daughters of government attorneys/journalists/foreign service etc - not high paid lobbyists, law firm partners, etc. We did not belong to country clubs or vacation in Nantucket etc. We were all smart and studied a lot.

The "popular" girls tended to have wealthier parents who worked in the private sector (probably because the group stemmed from elementary school and you need to be wealthier to send your kid to private all the way through). Some of them were just as smart as us and worked hard, but some of the smart ones did not work very hard. Some of them were not that smart by private dc standards. They were all more likely to drink, hook up with different guys a lot, and by senior year some did drugs.

My friends and I are all in boring professional jobs like attorney, doctor, etc. Most of us have kids but all are still working outside the home.

A few of the  "popular" girls are in traditional professional positions like attorney, consultant, etc. But most of them, even the smart ones who have great academic backgrounds, are doing SAHM or fun sounding jobs like photography and art consulting that probably don't pay a ton. Yet they are still able to live very nice lifestyles.

So let's see. My friends and I have worked our asses off since ninth grade. The "popular" girls partied more in high school and now don't work or do fun hobby type jobs.

You judge who is better off......[/quote]
