[quote=Anonymous]It's even harder if you're from a culture/parents are from a country where everything is based on test scores and college rankings. People in my family STILL mention how well so-and-so did on the national college exam 50 years ago, and exactly what rank they were. DH and I were both double ivy-leaguers so it is hard to shake that. At the same time, I switched fields and jobs many times before I found the right fit. And I work with people from all walks of life who have found success--people who were in prison, who never finished high school, who are refugees from other countries and had to start again, or laid-off feds who have only ever worked at one agency. There are many paths to success and we are lucky that the U.S. is the sort of place where you can try a lot of options. As parents we need to become educated about all of those options, because a college degree--even from a prestigious institution--doesn't guarantee anything. [/quote]
