ITA. College is not for everybody, nor is a white collar job.[/quote]

Yes, but the point is that the OP is remembering it as "Everybody got a good education and got along." That memory may not be accurate.[/quote]

Right, and OP is also saying that in her bucolic days growing up in a college town,[b] parents didn't "do advocacy" at the schools or worry about academics[/b].  That might be true - I don't know.  But I'm not sure the recollections of a child are necessarily accurate.  I'm sure there were people worried about academics, but those people were unlikely to be the highly educated white professionals that OP's parents hung out with, since they had some assurance that the middle class kids of college professors were going to land on their feet.

I'm the Midwestern PP, and in my bucolic days growing up in a college town, there were definitely parents who did both. Specifically, the highly-educated white professional parents. I didn't pay much attention to it, but I do remember it. (Other parents might also have advocated and/or worried, but I don't remember it.)[/quote]
