[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally what happened to people your age? Do most of them have a college degree?[/quote]

No, of course not. I think our response to think will be far more important than what is going on now in terms of education.  A lot of the youth fled the country after the war looking for some normalcy and better opportunities.  I personally was not able to leave Sarajevo during the war because it was under siege the whole time.  Just like in normal times, some kids had the advantage of natural curiosity and the ability to go to college and others did not. [/quote]

For those that stayed what percentage are happy/successful?

What percentage went to college?[/quote]

It's a mixed bag. You have to consider what happened after the fighting stopped.  The whole country had to be rebuilt basically from scratch. The Bosnian government could have done a much better job.  To this day they are very corrupt and there is no doubt in my mind that I'll see another conflict there during my lifetime.[/quote]
Do you think Dodik will try to create a separate state or join with Serbia?[/quote]

That is what they have been trying to do for the past 25 years.  I don't think they will ever stop.  Nationalism and tensions are still very high in the Balkans.  I just wish that people realized that while they are squabling with their neighbors the government is robbing them blind. [/quote]
