[quote=Anonymous]Thanks, OP. This is good advice and an important reminder. I was a straight A (ok occasional B) student and went to a top boarding school and private college, master’s program etc. I chose a passion field and still work in nonprofits, earning just $126k at 46 though I have earned more in the past. I am perfectly content (my husband followed a very similar path and makes about the same). But now for our two kids, I realize I don’t have to stress about the occasional Bs. If they are encouraged and supported, that is the best we can do. My sibling went to an elite college (think Harvard) but completely washed out due to mental illness that manifested in their 20s). Life throws unexpected curve balls. Having a high IQ or straight As is not a reliable insurance policy. [/quote]
