[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are well -educated and just middle class and your kid isn't a top student, it is scary to think your kid isn't even going to have the chance to make 85 to 100,000 a year. [/quote]

Scary? For real? Wow, only in this area would making this salary, or higher, define success.[/quote]

Read the rest of the posts...I don't believe anyone as snarky as you could actually not care much about material success.  No parent cares only about money--everyone wants their children to be happy, the question is what is the best approach?  This thread is aimed at financially successful people.  If you are not financially successful then you may be happier, etc but that's not the point of the thread and you'll never understand it.  I know a lot of people are deep down jealous of people who have material success and, to protect their own egos, imagine that financial success must come with some price that they would never pay...e.g. divorce, work all the time, etc.  People are people--there are unhappy rich people and unhappy poor people just as there are happy poor people and happy rich people.  It's the snarky ones that post stupid general statements that out themselves as jealous and greedy.[/quote]
