Wow!  This sounds like ground breaking rocket science!  I wonder how OP came up with such unique insight that no one ever could have predicted.[/quote]

This forum and others like it and also travel sports forums are full of parents who think prestige colleges are going to change their kids' lives. It is delusional. Your teen either has "it" or they don't by the time they leave your nest. You put a kid ambitious and smart enough for UVA, Duke or Penn into some regional degree mill and they will graduate with a 4.0 GPA and have their pick of jobs and grad schools.[/quote]

This is not correct, plenty of kids peak in high school, and others are late bloomers.  Nor can anyone predict life success by the age of 27 or 28.  Op does sound like she has a chip on her shoulder.

Most of the lax bros I know have gone on to very successful careers in finance and law and none of them are the phenotype op is describing.[/quote]
