[quote=Anonymous]So, it's possible these kids won't become Titans of Wall Street, but is there any indication that they want to? OP hasn't told us anything about what these boys actually want. What are they good at? What do they see in their future? She's also citing "research" that is really not meant to describe kids whose parents make 3x the median income for the US, or whose parents provide a nice middle-class lifestyle. No, these boys aren't being overparented like many DC kids are and it might mean they miss their chance to attend MIT. But I know TONS of folks like this from back home. They went to a local community college before transferring to a state school, and now they have steady middle class jobs just like their parents. OP sounds like a snob, and I say that as someone who has actually achieved the much-vaunted social mobility. Not everyone wants what I want, particularly at the cost. [/quote]
