[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything is so damn competitive now, and I don't know how people survive this world. It starts when someone is young with how competitive youth sports has become. It is extremely difficult to even make the JV team now. College admissions are more competitive and cutthroat than ever, and you have to be insanely lucky to get into a school like UVA, UMich, or UNC right now.

Even if you make it into a good college, the competition doesn't stop there. Most engineering, premed, and business clubs require applications and interviews to join. Greek life rejects most people who try to join. Getting research experience is extremely hard too.

And it is impossible to find a job now once you graduate.

How are kids supposed to survive now?[/quote]

Finding a good job right now is a function of the economy not a competitive society. Some of this may be due to increased awareness as a parent and where you raised your kids. Focus on growth mindset and resilience instead of scarcity mindset. There is not one path to success and happiness.[/quote]
