[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, you want your kid to become Jeffrey Epstein rather than Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates?[/quote]

While I think OPs post is idiotic, I don't think you're quite getting her point. Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates may be nerdy or whatever term you want to use, but they also know how to schmooze, talk to people, manage people, etc.    And I THINK that was OPs point. If you spend all your time with your head in books and have zero social skills, it doesn't matter if you're as smart as Bill Gates. Your inability to interact with others will inhibit you. Of course, you don't need to be a frat bro to get those social skills. [/quote]

Bill Gates  doesn't have social skills. He is a smart greedy bully. He made software that his mom sold to her friend  at IBM. Then he and his nerd friend hired a sales guy as their #3 to build the company. Bezos is similar. They didn't get their success by sweet talking, they didn't by finding technical and financial angles. [/quote]

I would give them more credit than that…but Musk, Zuckerberg, Ellison, etc literally most truly successful people do not comport at all to the OP’s kids.

What’s funny is the OPs kids are quite mediocre…yet she doesn’t seem to understand that.[/quote]
