[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Average income people have it so much easier than high income.  I mean, high income have to hire accountants to shield their taxes and wealth managers to help them beat the markets.  It takes a lot to manage both a winter home AND a summer home.  Have some sympathy. Average income people don’t have these kinds of problems.  [/quote]
Well, I know average income people who went Ivy League schools and high income people who went to state schools. So there’s that. [/quote]

You are responding to me. If you are saying that the name of the college one attends has very little direct effect on the quality of your professional life, then we are in accord.  My DC is a 9th grader at a top local private. I can confidently say we have practically zero interest in even looking at top 20 colleges when that time comes.  The differences, if there are any at all, between a top 20 and Nos. 21-100 are negligible.  I don’t want DC to feel like they have to have a singular focus in life to start and NGO or publish research just so they can land a coveted spot. DC is 15 and should use the teen (and even 20s) to figure out what motivates them.  It unhealthy and most of it is driven by status crazed parents who can’t bear the thought of admitting to their peers that little Larla/o is slumming it at State U.  [/quote]
