[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flight attendant sounds like a great option.  I always thought that's something I would have enjoyed myself if I hadn't gone to college.  Don't know if she enjoys working with her hands at all but maybe also something in the beauty industry (aesthetician, hair dresser, etc)?  [/quote]

low average intelligence; good people skills, lacks college degree = flight attendant[/quote]

I'm the pp with the niece with low avg IQ.  My sil, her mother, is a flight attendant. [b] She also graduated phi beta kappa from UC Berkley [/b]and collects alimony for life from my brother, currently 12k a month, a smart cookie, no?!?  :wink:

[/quote]

I find that hard to believe. [/quote]

Why?  She admits she's never been very ambitious and loves her job:  it's very flexible and she can travel for free.  She could have stopped working a long time ago if she'd wanted to.[/quote]

She works for one of the major airlines, is unionized, with excellent benefits.[/quote]

She also is opening up a store selling gourmet ice cream (not in this area) which her daughter will help run although her ultimate ambition is to become a riding coach (horses).

OP, there are lots of options.  Good people skills are a gift![/quote]

Right. Marry the right guy; divorce and get 12K a month, she should be able to do o.k.  :wink: [/quote]

OP.  The sad thing is, other people in my extended family have alluded to as much.  "She'll land a doctor and be fine".  It sickens me.[/quote]

Her mother was the phi beta kappa who collects the alimony.  Her mother was never a bad student. It's not like people plan on getting divorced either...  And my brother is the one who left the marriage.

It's just ingrained sexism that makes people say that and nowadays, the majority of students in med schools are women.  Ignore them.  [/quote]
