[quote=Anonymous]My kid needs a cost-benefit analysis to do anything.  He is well groomed, does his laundry, cleans his room etc.  Benefit - There are a  bunch of girls in his social group and they hang out in his room. Aside from that, they laugh at the guys who are dirty and have gross rooms.  He is paying attention to what the girls are saying.

He attends class, is never late, can self advocate, aces tests and assignments, does his due diligence, does not ask stupid question, is super organized for work.  Benefit -  4.0 in CS is my expectation for him to remain in a dorm/apartment in a college that is 45 minutes from home, and also have access to my credit card. He can continue to not use his earnings and invest it, if his academic performance remains good in school.

He dresses and behaves in a professional manner.   Benefit - he  stands out from other students and gets recommended for prestigious internships or research work,  because mentors don't find him irritating or disrespectful.  Lesson - Dress to mimic your employer to gain their trust.  The employers or people in power are not your peers. They are the peers of your parents.
