[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a science PhD and have worked for two Nobel laureates, both before they won the Prize. I also applied for a Rhodes Scholarship and made it to the second round of interviews from a third tier school that had never had a student apply for a Rhodes before. My parents did zero grooming. My mom was a SAHM and my father was an engineer. My dad refused to help pay for my college because he said I was just going to get married, have kids and be a housewife in the end. I applied for a Rhodes because it would have helped me get my PhD at Oxford. I ended up getting and NSF GRF and funding my PhD in a (later) Nobel Prize winning lab with that fellowship. [/quote] What are you doing now? One of my siblings followed a similar path but my parents didn't do any grooming either other than stressing overall good grades and being involved in the community.[/quote]
