[quote=Anonymous]Your options seem to be grad school, networking, or marrying rich.  You've wasted a lot of time you could be building your career, and grad school + networking is the only way to bring yourself on part to your friends, if that's what you want.

Before investing in grad school, it's  probably worth some therapy or life/career coaching, maybe both, to figure out what you want to pursue, especially if your trust won't help you pay for graduate school and you need loans or fellowships to make it work.  Grad school sometimes also requires perseverance through bureaucracy, dull intro classes, and things that might not keep you stimulated, so factor that in to your decisions.

I have a very smart kid with ADHD, and we've drilled into them that being smart is not all you need to be successful in life.  You can be a genius but not have the executive function skills to maintain a job and pay your bills - smart is only part of the equation, so we're focusing on what you do with "smart" to become successful.[/quote]
