[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your results are very distorted by self selection here.

My C sibling didn't go to college and works for a retail company,  making about 30k a year as a 35 year old. I think this is standard. [/quote]

This.

Frankly all the B/C (and lower) students I know currently who are about 25-ish now "work for their dad." Except dad holds down a corporate job as an engineer or accountant or whatever, so you wonder how that's possible. Well turns out DS is in "real estate with his dad" -- i.e. dad owns one single rental property which he's had for 20 yrs with stable tenants for 10 yrs and DS "manages" that, full time. Yeah -- I'm sure depositing that rent check 1x/month is a 40 hr/wk task . . . .[/quote]

I imagine the outcomes for the C student, daughter of lower middle class family with no connections, are very different than l for the C student, daughter of doctors/lawyers/corporate execs. So yeah, if your kid doesn't figure out the work ethic, you will be supporting your kid and they will not be exactly as you hoped. But if you keep them off of drugs, it won't be the end of the world although, again, not what you hoped.

The world is filled with C students who find their groove. But that does not mean that the majority of C students aren't just having C lives, professionally speaking. [/quote]

Yep -- that kind of kid is lucky to be from a UMC type of family where parents can "start a business" for  him-- even if said business is one modest rental apartment that the kid "manages." You throw the apartment into some kind of LLC structure with a corporate name and what do you know, kid is a corporate vice president for resume purposes and frankly could probably get some job later on if he needed to. OTOH is parents don't have those kinds of means -- the kids end up working at car dealerships, bank tellers etc.; at least that's how it worked out in my hometown in the last 1.5 decades.[/quote]
