[quote=Anonymous][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]

so is the high earning sales guy not successful?[/quote]

I just said there isn’t always a correlation between academic and financial success. Of course the sales guy is successful.

DH is a surgeon. He has a rep friend who probably earns 700-800k doing med sales. He earns equal or more than many surgeons.[/quote]

The surgeon, as well as non-surgeon MDs, are in the more respected field though. Money isn't everything. [/quote]
