[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes and no. My H is a very successful physician. His brother dropped out of law school to enter the restaurant business. Today he runs two really successful restaurants but hes not a lawyer. Or doctor. Their parents seem to value my husbands opinion on business and financial matters more than him (and hes older) which drives him crazy, and my own husband sees it and has called them on it. He is a totally capable maybe even brilliant man who just happened to follow his passion of food! It is definitely not that they love one more than the other but I do think they look at hem differently. Background is that the entire family are intellectual snobs and the oldest brother just happened to rebel against it, and they cannot deal![/quote] your brother actually attained something that virtually all lawyers and doctors don't attain - that's success + self actualization through his career. A true intellectual would appreciate that. It's less that your family are intellectual snobs and more just philistines when a sheen of pseudo-intellectualism. [/quote]
