[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are you defining success? Job title, graduate degree, lawyer, medicine, money?

I mean one of the highest earners I know was a bozo in Hs and went to a mediocre school but man- can he sell stuff. He is in sales and makes a lot of money.[/quote]

We all know what success is. I was a Harvard educated investment banker and married a surgeon. We now have three mini versions of us.

We are now twenty years ahead of OP’s children. I don’t always see a correlation between academic success and professional and financial success. Lots of smart academics in low paying fields.[/quote]

The surgeon is a success as far as we can tell.  Important job, high income. Investment banker not as successful but ok. Moves money around for a living.

The smart academics in lower paying jobs might be making a significant difference in their area of expertise but you didn’t name their fields so not sure what kind of success they can claim if any.

Your kids are kids.  We don’t label them, at least decent people don’t.  [/quote]

I love having a mini me. I’m not labeling my kids anything.[/quote]
