[quote=Anonymous][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]
Thank goodness you don’t live in a country like India or China where there are 1 billion+ people fighting for the same seats and resources.

And there’s lawlessness, poor tax collection, poor property rules, corrupt govts. [/quote]

I’m raising my kids in an area with lots of parents who grew up in those places and who only know to parent in the way in which they were raised. It’s tough because they bring those values and ways of competing to school and sports, and the cycle continues. I’m 1st gen and it’s hard to realize that my family worked to get away from that only to have it come to us.[/quote]
