[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want DS to have an enriching, interesting, supportive  journey from K-12.   I want him to reach his fullest intellectual potential during those years.

Then I want him to attend a university or college that is in the top 15 for his particular area of interest.

[[I can't say what that is right now, in 6th grade.   There may not be overlap among schools WRT majors -- i.e., Williams is probably not the very best school for aeronautical engineering.    Columbia U. maybe not the tops for agricultural science and technology.   CalTech ... not for creative writing.]]

Then, I want him to evolve in a fulfilling career that occasionally fascinates him and always sustains him.

Ultimately, I want him to have the broad critical thinking skills that would allow him to switch careers if he desires.

I want him to earn enough salary to buy everything he needs and a lot -- but not all -- of what he wants during the course of his lifetime.[/quote]

Why not a salary that affords him ALL of his wants and needs?[/quote]
