Rich - no.

Wealthy - yes.

I married into wealth. The parents don't care where their kids go or what they study. The kids are financially set for life whether they go to University of Pittsburgh or UPenn. I met my wife at a large state school where she was pursuing a degree in a field she enjoyed, not necessarily one that's very lucrative. She now has a job that she loves that pays $65k/year and that's after doing it for years.

The rich people are the ones who obsess over every aspect of their lives while the wealthy simply live their lives. [/quote]

+1 A friend married into a wealthy family. The kids in the family majored in subjects that they wanted to study and went to a wide range of colleges/universities. They work in non-profits and NGOs, one is a Kindergarten teacher, social worker, etc. The ambitious members of the family are lawyers or involved in the family business. [/quote]
