[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] +100. Same. T10/ivy, married another one, know many former peer school colleagues who are now MD/JD couples or MD/research phD couples who are extremely smart academically but do not rake in huge $ (most have HHI above 300k so are doing just fine, in Boston suburbs no less--just not what DCUM thinks is "success")[/quote]
