[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop whining about your parents. You are an adult. You made choices. Unless you were seriously abused, stop stop stop stop stop blaming your parents for your life choices. It’s insane. I’m so sick of people doing this. You have hard YEARS to find mentorship. To change careers. You went to an IVY LEAGUE college. What more do you want? What could they have done more than they did? Stop looking around at everyone else’ paper. I felt empathy when this thread started. Now I think you need some jolt of reality. News flash: education is only one aspect toward success. Ivy League degrees do not predict future wealth. Your ego is your problem. You think you deserve more than you have acquired. You don’t. Just get the hell over yourselves. [/quote] I’m so sick of nasty people like you. When you know better, you do better. Life comes at people fast. Have compassion.[/quote] Sometimes compassion involves being honest rather than nurturing the black hole that is regret in those that need not be regretful. [/quote] I don't think anybody is encouraging the OP to wallow in self pity. Many of us are simply saying "yeah, we get it - we didn't live up to our potential either for a variety of reasons, but your income and resume aren't the totality of your life." Which is a nicer way of getting to the same place.[/quote] I totally get that, but when I tried that tactic, OP dug in further with why they’re not as successful as they’d like to be and that’s what annoyed me and I just was blunt. I think sometimes people are asking because they want pity but what they really need is a dose of reality. [/quote]
