[quote=Anonymous]Definitely not worth it. And even when people do have a high IQ and go to a T20 college, that doesn't guarantee a high income. Because flexibility and social skills are very, very, very important in the workplace. I saw it so many times with my peers at a T20 college and T20 grad school. Sometimes people do well when they have the low personal responsibilities of a college student, and the clear expectations of academia, and if social skills are lacking they're still able to get good grades. But then when it's time to get a job and deal with more subtle interpersonal challenges, it can be really, really difficult and sometimes they end up long-term unemployed. OP, there are therapists who can help you cope with this news. Your child is wonderful no matter what their IQ and what college they go to. I wish you all the best. [/quote]
