[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree!  I emphasize soft skills with my kids.  Hard work and being good with people.  It takes you far! I have another kid who is very smart and had great grades, but hates high pressure environments and doesn’t care about money.  He’s working in a low stress field that allows him free time to pursue things he loves, and provides for a nice, simple lifestyle which is what he’s chosen.  I have a lot of admiration for him.

This is good too. But I have a feeling he has parents that aren't going to let him fail  That frees one up to do a lot of things ...

Thank you for this!  I'm going to try to nag my B student about grades less and emphasize soft skills.  He had his first job this summer and loved it. He's maturing into a wonderful young man with a hysterical sense of humor, and he's hella perceptive.[/quote]

I’m not sure I understand the commenter regarding not letting him fail? We don’t support him.  He lives a low key life and loves it.  If he were up decide yo back to, let’s say business school, yes we would support that too, but not sure what your definition of failing is? He lives with a young woman who’s an attorney, though environmental law, so not a big salary.   He pays his bills, saves, work hard just not high stress job, and enjoys his life.  [/quote]

Definitely not failing. Good for your son![/quote]
