[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah. This brings back memories. Of the BF's dad and stepmom who warned him that I was "a nobody" who was "beautiful but going nowhere." The bf was selling houses (new home sales, didn't even have a realtor's license) for context.

I was trying to figure out what to do in my late 20s and was modeling a tiny bit (I never got much work, but got some) and cocktail waitressing in a club on weekends. After he broke up with me I ended up going to law school, have had an amazing career, and made a lot of money. He's now divorced from a woman he met at a Pizza Hut and has had a string of long-term GFs since, none of them particularly impressive career-wise. I follow it on FB and laugh.

My niece  has been modeling since toddler-hood and at 27 owns a house in LA.  No college. Straight A's from private  school  K-12. Her mom (my gorgeous sister) paid for that  schooling with her cocktail waitressing job in Vegas.  She has 160 college credits, 3.8GPA while working full-time  but no degree.

Some people have no clue there are imaginative ways of life to be successful.[/quote]

I don’t understand the comment.

Everyone knows you can become a multi millionaire as an actor, but less than 1% achieve that status.

Same for musicians, models and other similar professions.  College doesn’t help you in any way in these professions, so nobody cares about it.

I will comment that rarely do successful artists want their kids to pursue the same path with no college.  Hence why Paltrow’s kids are in college…Affleck’s kids…etc.

They realize how hard a business it is and how unique a person you need to be  successful.[/quote]
How in the EFF do you know why these actors’ kids are in college?
Maybe they are pursuing a degree in the performing arts or molecular . We know you the hell do not know.
Small , unimaginative minds cannot fathom not being a hamster 🐹 n a wheel working a job you hate making someone else rich just do your life looks good on paper.
If people are paying their own way in life and doing it legally mind the business that pays you,
Coward.

You sound a little off.

Affleck’s kid is at Yale and not studying the arts or music.  Paltrow/Martin at Vanderbilt also not studying the arts.

You can have your fourth glass of wine now.[/quote]
