[quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't know what I want for my children. I went to an ivy and medical school and for me -- someone who was raised in a trailer park in Nebraska -- it was life changing, but incredibly stressful because that was.my.one.shot. My kids have easier lives than mine. Or my husband's (who also grew up poor, but went to a good college and grad school which led to his high paying career). They have a higher margin of error than I did. I couldn't make a mistake. They can. They have something I never did, which is the means to be supported. If I would have flunked out or burned out, I knew my future. Waiting tables, working at a gas station, other low paying jobs that my family (the ones who weren't drug addicted or abusing alcohol) went to on a daily basis.[/quote]
